Madagascar’s president mandates lie detector tests for ministers, requiring 60% honesty score, amid anti-corruption reforms.
In March 2026, Madagascar’s President Michael Randrianirina, who took power in a 2025 coup, announced that all ministerial candidates must pass lie detector tests to combat corruption.
The country acquired a polygraph machine and hired a specialist, with candidates needing a score above 60% honesty to qualify for interviews.
Those failing will not advance.
The move is part of broader efforts to reform governance amid public frustration over poverty and poor services, with elections pledged within two years.
Details on enforcement and testing procedures remain unclear.
