OFNAC flags nine key figures linked to Ousmane Sonko and Bassirou Diomaye Faye for non-declaration of assets

In its provisional directory, finalized on July 31, 2026, the National Anti-Corruption Office (OFNAC) has meticulously documented failures to comply with asset declaration obligations among top state officials. Among the roles mandated to declare their wealth, nine key positions associated with the Presidency of the Republic and the National Assembly are notably absent from the compliance register.

The Executive branch bears the brunt of these oversights, with seven positions linked either directly to the Presidential Palace or to agencies and commissions under its authority. Within the Cabinet and immediate ministerial functions, non-compliance has been observed for the personal representative of the Head of State to the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), the Special Envoy of the President of the Republic, and the Director of Presidential Protocol. Furthermore, administrative and financial management roles within strategic bodies and regulatory authorities attached to the Presidency are also implicated. These include the Administrative and Financial Director of the Commission de protection des données personnelles (CDP), the Administrative and Financial Manager of the Comité national de l’Initiative pour la transparence dans les industries extractives (CN-ITIE), the Director of Support Services and Finance for the Autorité de régulation des télécommunications et des postes (ARTP), and the Deputy Director-General of the Agence de promotion des investissements et des grands travaux (APIX-SA), representing the parastatal sector.

Turning to the Legislative branch, OFNAC has highlighted two instances involving senior responsibilities within the National Assembly Bureau. These pertain to the institution’s Eighth Vice-President, as well as the former Third Vice-President of the National Assembly, regarding their tenure. In the latter case, the oversight body clarified an important distinction: although the individual is no longer obligated to declare due to their term’s conclusion, no declaration was submitted throughout the entirety of their mandate.

Despite these findings, OFNAC emphasized a significant area of compliance at the highest echelons of state apparatus: all currently serving government ministers have fully adhered to the asset declaration requirement. No minister has left office or exceeded the regulatory deadline without fulfilling this obligation, with the mention “Néant” (None) explicitly recorded for this category in the report.
