OFNAC identifies nine key officials linked to Sonko and Faye for failing to declare assets

A provisional registry released by the National Office for the Fight against Corruption (OFNAC) on July 31, 2026, reveals significant non-compliance with mandatory asset declaration requirements among high-ranking public officials.
The registry, which tracks compliance with asset declaration laws for senior state officials, has flagged nine positions directly linked to the Presidency and the National Assembly for failing to meet the legal obligations. Seven of these positions fall under the Executive branch, specifically within the Presidential Palace or its affiliated agencies and commissions.
Key figures in breach include the President’s personal representative to the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), the Head of State’s Special Envoy, and the Director of the Presidential Protocol Service. Additionally, administrative and financial managers within strategic bodies under Presidential oversight have also failed to comply: 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 Finance and Support Services Director of the Autorité de régulation des télécommunications et des postes (ARTP), and the Deputy Managing Director of the Agence de promotion des investissements et des grands travaux (APIX-SA).
The Legislative branch is also affected, with two high-ranking officials from the National Assembly Bureau listed: the eighth Vice-President and a former third Vice-President. Notably, while the former is no longer subject to the obligation due to the end of their mandate, no declaration was made during their tenure—a critical lapse highlighted by the oversight body.
Despite these failures, the OFNAC has praised the Executive for overall compliance. Every current government minister has fulfilled their declaration obligations within the regulatory timeframe, with the registry noting ‘N/A’ for these positions—a clear indication of adherence to transparency protocols.
