National assembly president ousmane sonko declares assets as transparency measure

The President of the National Assembly, Ousmane Sonko, has fulfilled his obligation to declare personal assets, a requirement for certain high-ranking public officials. This significant step aligns with broader efforts to enhance financial transparency and public accountability.

According to an official registry made public by the National Anti-Corruption Office (OFNAC), the head of the legislative body is prominently featured among parliamentary leaders who have formally submitted their declarations.

Key parliamentary figures comply

This initiative forms a cornerstone of the framework designed to ensure financial transparency and oversight of the wealth held by senior public servants.

Several other prominent members of the National Assembly’s leadership have also completed this vital formality. This includes various vice-presidents, chairpersons of parliamentary groups, and quaestors, reinforcing the commitment to openness across the institution.

The submission of these declarations represents a fundamental phase in the accountability mechanism to which these officials are subject. Through this system, OFNAC diligently monitors compliance with declaration mandates, thereby strengthening transparency in the management of public affairs.

For Ousmane Sonko, this asset declaration comes shortly after his assumption of the presidency of the National Assembly, marking an early commitment to the principles of good governance in his new role.
