The executive branch accounts for most of these delays, with seven positions identified within the Presidential Palace or its affiliated agencies and commissions.

The National Anti-Corruption Office (OFNAC) has released its provisional report, updated to July 31, 2026, detailing significant failures by high-ranking state officials to comply with mandatory asset declarations. The report identifies nine key roles, spanning both the Presidency of the Republic and the National Assembly, as being non-compliant with this crucial obligation.

The executive branch is responsible for the majority of these outstanding declarations, with seven positions located either within the Presidential Palace itself or in agencies and commissions under its direct oversight. Within the Cabinet and direct ministerial roles, the non-compliance includes 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 the Presidential Protocol Service. Furthermore, administrative and financial management roles within strategic bodies and regulatory authorities linked to the Presidency are also implicated. These include the Administrative and Financial Director of the Personal Data Protection Commission (CDP), the administrative and financial manager 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.

Turning to the legislative branch, OFNAC has highlighted two instances involving senior positions within the National Assembly’s Bureau. These are the institution’s Eighth Vice-President and the former Third Vice-President of the National Assembly, whose non-compliance pertains to his tenure in office. Regarding the latter, the oversight body clarified an important distinction: although this individual is no longer subject to the declaration requirement as their term has concluded, no declaration was filed throughout their entire period in that role.

However, OFNAC emphasized a crucial area of compliance at the highest level of state administration: all currently serving government ministers have fully adhered to the asset declaration process. No minister has either left office or exceeded the regulatory deadline without fulfilling this obligation, with the designation “None” noted for this particular category in the report.
