Ofnac flags nine key figures in ousmane sonko and bassirou diomaye faye’s administration for asset declaration delays
The Executive branch accounts for the majority of these delays, with seven positions identified within the Presidential Palace or its supervisory agencies and commissions.
In its provisional report, finalized on July 31, 2026, the National Anti-Corruption Office (OFNAC) meticulously detailed failures to comply with the mandatory asset declaration for top state officials. Among the positions subject to this obligation, nine individuals linked to the Presidency of the Republic and the National Assembly are listed as non-compliant.
The Executive branch is primarily responsible for these delays, with seven roles falling within the Presidential Palace or its affiliated agencies and commissions. Within the Cabinet and direct ministerial functions, the omissions include 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 the Presidential Protocol Service. Additionally, financial and administrative management roles within strategic bodies and regulatory authorities attached to the Presidency are implicated: the Administrative and Financial Director of the Personal Data Protection Commission (CDP), the Administrative and Financial Manager of the National Committee of 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 General Director of the Agency for the Promotion of Investments and Major Works (APIX-SA), representing the parapublic sector.
Regarding the Legislative branch, OFNAC highlighted two instances involving high-ranking responsibilities within the National Assembly Bureau: the eighth Vice-President of the institution, and the former third Vice-President of the National Assembly, concerning his tenure. On this latter case, the oversight body provided a crucial clarification: although the individual is no longer subject to the declaration requirement, as his term has ended, no submission was ever made throughout the duration of his mandate.
OFNAC was keen to underscore a significant point of compliance at the highest level of the state apparatus: all current government ministers have fully adhered to the exercise. No minister has either resigned or exceeded the regulatory deadline without fulfilling their asset declaration, with the mention “None” appearing in this category of the report.
