Starting
from the beginning of next year, Ukraine will receive a new model of the asset
declaration and monitoring for public servants as well as an open register of
declarations, access to which will have every Ukrainian. This was stated by Justice Minister Pavlo Petrenko at a
press conference at the Cabinet of Ministers.
According
to him, not only the National Anti-Corruption Agency but also every citizen
will be able to see a declaration of every official from a head of the state to
a head of district administration online on the site as soon as the open register of declarations starts
operating.
"All
information will be available online and open for the control of assets, income
and expenses that are declared by a civil servant," he added.
The
Justice Minister also informed: the work on the preparation of technical task for
the creation of software to run the registry and monitoring system is being
conducted by the Ministry of Justice in cooperation with international experts
and civil society representatives over the past six months.
Director of the UN Development Programme in
Ukraine Jan Thomas Hiemstra said
that more than 100 countries already have the system of electronic declaration. According to him, the system will be very modern and comprehensive due to
the fact that more than 1 million officials must submit their declarations.
"Another
innovation, which is not available in many countries - every citizen can go to
the site and see what this or that official possesses. It is important that the National Anti-Corruption Agency can have access to
information and compare the declared with a way of life that an official
leads," said Jan Thomas Hiemstra.
Expert of the World Bank team Dmytro Kotliar said
that developed software that will form the basis of electronic declaration will
have no analogs in the world.
"This
is a very powerful and modern system, which has no analogs in the world,"
he said.
