New Legislation to Strengthen Anti-Corruption Efforts in Ukraine
The law of Ukraine concerning the strengthening of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office has officially taken effect.
This has been reported by the official publication of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
The Verkhovna Rada has adopted the draft law introduced by President Volodymyr Zelensky aimed at restoring the independence of anti-corruption agencies.
On the same day, the President signed the corresponding law.
The latest edition of the Criminal Procedure Code, passed on July 22, posed potential risks to the effective functioning of the anti-corruption infrastructure in Ukraine, particularly concerning the independence of NABU and SAP.
Following the passage of the law regarding the powers of NABU and SAP, the procedures for decision-making within the 'Servant of the People' faction will be improved, with a working group already engaged.
