Conflict of interests verification

NACP is authorised to monitor, prevent and settle conflicts of interests and advise public officials. NACP is also empowered to make provisions in cases of conflict of interest. The failure of an individual to inform on potential conflict of interests incurs an administrative fine of 100 to 200 non-taxable minimum wages. Executing an action or decision where there is a real conflict of interest is punishable by a fine of 200 to 400 non-taxable minimum wages. In case of repeated violations during a year, an individual may face a fine ranging from 400 to 800 non-taxable minimum wages, and may be prohibited from holding certain positions or engaging in certain activities for a year.

There is no established procedures and consistent practice established by NACP of conflict of interest prevention and issuing fines for violations  of the rules.
