Names of first 12
Ukrainian anti-corruption prosecutors have been announced after the first
contest to select frontline anti-corruption prosecutors, according member of
the selection commission Daria Kaleniuk.
"The winners' names are
Havryliuk, Haidanka, Hrechyshkin, Zhovnytska, Kasyan, Kravets, Olefir, Perov,
Prosvystak, Skybenko, Shkrum, and Scherbai," she wrote on Friday.
Thus, 12 out of 30 vacancies for
anti-corruption prosecution have been filled after the first contest, she
wrote.
Among the winners is a relative of Member of
Parliament from the Batkivschyna Party Olena Shkrum. In her words, this is her
father's nephew.
No more details (first names, the professional
background, etc.) about the winners have been announced.
The selection commission recommends that
anti-corruption prosecutor Nazar Kholodnytskyappoint the selected candidates,
according to Ukrainian online publication Ukrainska
Pravda.
A total of 318 applications were submitted for
the anti-corruption prosecutors' vacancies, Kaleniuk said. The commission
shortlisted 66 candidates, 12 of them were announced the winners.
The anti-corruption prosecutor's office will
consist of 30 prosecutors who will supervise investigations to be conducted by
detectives of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine.
Kaleniuk said that under current laws, all the
candidates should have 5 years' experience of work in any prosecution agency.
Thus, all the winners are former prosecutors.
In her words, an additional contest should be
announced as the first one gathered "fewer strong candidates" because
of the five-year experience requirement. But the new contest could be
successfully only if this requirement has been cancelled to attract lawyers or
solicitors with the strong background who have not worked at prosecutor's offices
before.
The selection commission consists of two
Members of Parliament, two representatives from the public, representatives
from the anti-corruption prosecutor's office, including its head, Nazar
Kholodnytsky, and from the Prosecutor General's Office.
