The Executive branch accounts for the majority of these outstanding declarations, with seven positions identified within the Presidential Palace or its associated agencies and commissions.
The National Anti-Corruption Office (Ofnac) recently published its provisional registry, current as of July 31, 2026, revealing significant failures in asset declaration compliance among top state officials. Across various mandated roles, nine key positions within the Presidency of the Republic and the National Assembly have been flagged for non-compliance.
Executive branch lags in asset declarations
The Executive branch is particularly affected, with seven positions in the Presidential Palace or agencies and commissions under its authority listed as delinquent. Specifically, within the President’s Cabinet and direct ministerial functions, the individuals failing to declare include the President’s personal representative to the International Organisation of 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 linked to the Presidency are also implicated: the Administrative and Financial Director of the Personal Data Protection Commission (CDP), the Administrative and Financial Officer 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 the Promotion of Investments and Major Works (APIX-SA), representing the parastatal sector.
Legislative branch also sees non-compliance
Turning to the Legislative branch, Ofnac has identified two instances of non-compliance involving high-ranking members of the National Assembly Bureau. These include the institution’s eighth vice-president and the former third vice-president of the National Assembly, regarding their tenure. Ofnac emphasized a crucial detail in the latter case: although the individual is no longer subject to the declaration requirement as their term has ended, no declaration was filed throughout their entire mandate.
However, Ofnac underscored a significant point of compliance at the highest echelons of state administration: all currently serving government ministers have fully adhered to the asset declaration process. No minister has departed from their role or exceeded the statutory deadline without submitting their declaration, with the mention “Nil” appearing in this category of the report, indicating full compliance.
