In its provisional directory, finalized on July 31, 2026, the National Anti-Corruption Office (OFNAC) meticulously documented failures to comply with asset declaration obligations at the highest levels of government. Among the roles mandated to submit such declarations, nine positions closely associated with the Presidency of the Republic and the National Assembly have been listed as non-compliant.
The executive branch’s non-compliance
The Executive branch accounts for the majority of these outstanding declarations, with seven roles identified either within the Presidential Palace itself or in agencies and commissions under its direct supervision. Specifically, within the Cabinet and direct ministerial functions, non-compliance was noted for the President’s personal representative to the International Organization of la Francophonie (OIF), the Special Envoy of the President of the Republic, and the Director of the Presidential Protocol Service. Furthermore, administrative and financial management roles within strategic bodies and regulatory authorities linked to the Presidency were also flagged. These include the Administrative and Financial Director of the Personal Data Protection Commission (CDP), the Administrative and Financial Manager of the National Committee for the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (CN-ITIE), the Director of Support Services and Finance at the Telecommunications and Post Regulatory Authority (ARTP), and the Deputy Director General of the Agency for Investment Promotion and Major Works (APIX-SA), representing the parapublic sector.
Legislative branch issues
Turning to the Legislative branch, OFNAC highlighted two instances involving high-ranking positions within the National Assembly Bureau. These include the institution’s Eighth Vice-President and the former Third Vice-President of the National Assembly, in relation to their tenure. Regarding the latter case, the oversight body emphasized a crucial detail: while the individual is no longer subject to the declaration requirement, their term having concluded, no declaration was ever submitted throughout their entire mandate.
Full compliance from government ministers
OFNAC, however, underscored a significant compliance achievement at the highest echelons of state: all currently serving government ministers have fully adhered to the declaration process. No minister has either left office or exceeded the statutory deadline without fulfilling their asset declaration obligation, with the designation « None » appearing for this category in the report.
