Port-au-Prince, February 9, 2026.- In an information note made public, this Monday, February 9, the Anti-Corruption Unit (ULCC) urged former political figures and officials of the public administration to comply with the requirements of articles 2, 6, 7 and 14 of the Act of 12 February 2008 on the declaration of assets. The institution recalls that this mandatory exit procedure must be carried out within 30 days of the end of the mandate, in order to ensure transparency, accountability and good governance.
According to the ULCC, the former officials concerned, in particular senior politicians, directors-general and members of ministerial cabinet, must make their declaration of assets of exit at the registry of the civil court of their home. This legal obligation shall apply upon termination of their duties and may not exceed 30 days. The institution stresses that this measure is an essential tool for preventing illicit enrichment and corruption in public administration.
The anti-corruption body also warns that failure to comply with this requirement exposes offenders to prosecution for failure to report. Through this reminder, the ULCC intends to reaffirm its determination to enforce the law and promote a culture of probity within institutions. It invites the persons concerned to take the necessary steps to avoid any legal complication.
By reiterating this call, the ULCC once again places transparency at the heart of public governance. Respect for the declaration of exit assets appears to be a major test for the credibility of former leaders and for the consolidation of the rule of law in Haiti.
