Svyrydensko explained why the government did not appoint the head of the Bureau of Economic Security.
Ukraine's Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydensko supported the government's decision to reject the candidacy for the position of head of the Bureau of Economic Security (BEB). According to her, the procedure complied with current legislation and regulatory acts.
Yulia Svyrydensko stated this in an interview with Bloomberg.
Why the government did not appoint the head of BEB
As is known, the IMF and the European Commission demanded that a new head of BEB be appointed by the end of July. However, the government did not vote for the proposed candidacy.
'The Cabinet acted in accordance with established procedures: we received the candidacy from the selection committee, voted collegially, and sent the decision back to the committee.'- explained Yulia Svyrydensko.
It should be noted that on June 24, the competition commission chose the former head of NABU detectives, Oleksandr Tsyvynskyi, for the position of head of BEB. The corresponding decision was sent to the government, but it did not appoint Tsyvynskyi. The Cabinet has doubts about the candidate's compliance with all the criteria for the position of head of BEB.
Recall that earlier Yulia Svyrydensko evaluated the situation with corruption in Ukraine. She believes that this problem is often exaggerated in society and among certain social groups.
The Prime Minister also explained how the ban on business inspections will work. Such a moratorium will allow entrepreneurs to work freely and contribute to the recovery of the economy in wartime.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine rejected the candidacy for the position of head of the Bureau of Economic Security, although the International Monetary Fund and the European Commission insisted on it. The Prime Minister of Ukraine, Yulia Svyrydensko, supported this decision, believing that the procedure was in accordance with the country's legislation.Read also
