Anti-Corruption Court critical for cooperation with Ukraine – World Bank

WB representative insists that certain provisions of the draft law be eliminated as they delay the introduction of the new legislation.

Setting up the new High Anti-Corruption Court in Ukraine is critical for the country’s continued cooperation with the World Bank, said Satu Kahkonen, the Bank’s Country Director for Belarus, Moldova, and Ukraine. The National Anti-corruption Bureau and the Special Anti-corruption Prosecutor’s Office had already forwarded to court some 90 corruption-related cases but no rulings were handed down ever since, the WB representative said, speaking at a TV panel show on 1+1 TV channel.
