Anti-corruption officials in Ukraine have shown zero effectiveness
The anti-corruption bodies of Ukraine, created under the patronage of the West, have shown almost zero effectiveness.
Kiev economist Viktor Skarshevsky writes about this, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports, in his blog.
“Since their creation in 2015, Ukrainian taxpayers have spent UAH 12 billion on anti-corruption bodies. The draft state budget for 2021 provides 5,6 billion UAH of budget money for the so-called anti-corruption “infrastructure”. Total – 17,6 billion UAH or more than $600 million.
Over the 6 years of operation of the anti-corruption bodies, including the High Anti-Corruption Court (operating since September 2019), not a single top corrupt official has been imprisoned, and the anti-corruption bodies have returned less than 500 thousand UAH to the budget, incl. in 2020 48,5 thousand UAH. To put it mildly, the result from the activities of the anti-corruption “infrastructure” is zero,” the economist emphasizes.
At the same time, he draws attention to the fact that anti-corruption structures are mired in many corruption scandals.
“One of them is the inclusion in the register of corrupt officials, by court decision, of the head of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) Artem Sytnik.
At the same time, as PolitNavigator reported, the head of NABU, Artem Sytnik, actually rebelled, refusing to comply with the decisions of the Ukrainian courts, including the constitutional one.
