Ousmane Sonko joins parliamentary leaders in asset declaration initiative

In a move reinforcing financial transparency norms, Ousmane Sonko, the Speaker of the National Assembly, has formally declared his assets as mandated by national regulations.

The announcement follows the release of an official roster by the National Anti-Corruption Office (OFNAC), which confirms Sonko’s compliance with the requirement applicable to high-ranking public officials.

Comprehensive participation across parliamentary leadership

Beyond the Assembly’s President, multiple key figures within the institution have also fulfilled their obligation to submit asset declarations. This includes deputies holding positions such as vice-presidents, parliamentary group leaders, and financial officers, all of whom are now listed in the published records.

This collective effort underscores the broader initiative to enhance accountability and financial probity among state officials.

Strengthening public trust through transparency

The OFNAC plays a pivotal role in overseeing these declarations, ensuring strict adherence to the legal framework. By systematically verifying submitted documents, the agency helps uphold public confidence in the integrity of governance processes.

For Ousmane Sonko, who recently assumed the role of Assembly President, the submission marks an early commitment to the transparency principles he now oversees as head of the legislative body.
