Senators in Senegal comply with new financial disclosure rules
Ousmane Sonko, President of Senegal’s National Assembly, has fulfilled the legal requirement to declare his assets, joining other parliamentary leaders in demonstrating transparency in public office.
The announcement follows the official release of asset declarations by the National Office for the Fight Against Corruption (OFNAC), which confirmed Sonko’s compliance with the mandatory financial disclosure process.
Parliamentary leaders join transparency initiative
Several key figures within Senegal’s National Assembly have also submitted their asset declarations, reinforcing the institution’s commitment to accountability and financial integrity. Among those who complied are:
- Vice-presidents of the Assembly
- Parliamentary group chairpersons
- Financial officers (questeurs)
This move aligns with broader efforts to strengthen financial oversight and prevent corruption in Senegal’s public sector.
Transparency measures gain momentum
The declarations represent a critical step in Senegal’s evolving transparency framework, ensuring that high-ranking officials are held accountable for their financial holdings. The OFNAC plays a central role in monitoring these disclosures, ensuring compliance with national regulations.
For Ousmane Sonko, the submission marks an early action in his tenure as Assembly President, reflecting his dedication to institutional transparency from the outset.
