The membership of the members failing to submit their details within the given time cannot be cancelled till after 15 days of the deadline. So far, only 555 members of the assembly have submitted their assets’ details. Out of these 555 members, 191 belong to National Assembly while 68 are from Senate.
Assets’ details of the members will be uploaded on the official website after 15th of October.
