The Executive branch accounts for the majority of these overdue declarations, with seven positions identified within the Presidential Palace or its affiliated agencies and commissions.
The National Anti-Corruption Office (Ofnac) has released its provisional report, updated to July 31, 2026, detailing significant failures in asset declaration obligations among high-ranking state officials. The report specifically names nine positions connected to the Presidency of the Republic and the National Assembly as being non-compliant with these crucial requirements.
The Executive branch is predominantly affected by these delays, with seven roles identified within the Presidential Palace or entities under its direct supervision. Within the President’s Cabinet and direct ministerial functions, the report highlights non-compliance from the personal representative of the Head of State to the International Organisation of La Francophonie (OIF), the Special Envoy of the President of the Republic, and the Director of Presidential Protocol. Additionally, several administrative and financial management positions within strategic organizations and regulatory authorities linked to the Presidency are cited: 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 for the Telecommunications and Post Regulatory Authority (ARTP), and the Deputy Director General of the Agency for the Promotion of Investments and Major Works (APIX-SA) within the parapublic sector.
Regarding the Legislative branch, Ofnac’s findings point to two significant positions within the National Assembly Bureau: the eighth Vice-President of the institution, and the former third Vice-President of the National Assembly. In the latter case, Ofnac clarifies that while the individual is no longer subject to the declaration requirement as their mandate has concluded, no declaration was submitted throughout their entire term of office.
Ofnac, however, underscored a critical area of compliance at the highest echelons of state administration: all current members of the government have fully adhered to the asset declaration exercise. No minister has left their post or exceeded the regulatory deadline without fulfilling their asset declaration, with the mention “Néant” (None) specifically noted in this category of the report.
