The author of the draft law is a figure in one of the investigations of the anti-corruption bureau.
The Council was recommended to adopt a draft law that would cancel the competition for the post of NABU director” />
The Committee on the Organization of State Power recommended that the parliament adopt draft law No. 7654, which will become the basis for the disruption of the competitionon the director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, and also simplifies the procedure for his dismissal, the head of the Anti-Corruption Center Vitaliy Shabunin said. Voting in the Council will take place, most likely, tomorrow,” he said
Shabunin reminded that the current law expressly forbids candidates who have worked in the governing bodies of the party for the past two years and/or had contractual relations with it to apply. However, now they want to cancel this norm (it is enough to stop such activities right before applying for the competition), which jeopardizes the priority of the political independence of the future director of the NABU. There will be more shame than during the competition for the head of the SAP,” announced the anti-corruption official.
He emphasized that a high-quality competition for the director of NABU was and remains one of the requirements for the start of negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU and expressed his opinion , that the measure may stop providing financial assistance to Ukraine after the adoption of such a law.

“We will not allow the amendment to be carried out immediately “in the first place and as a whole”: we will block it…. In the future, we will also block,” he stated about the presence of opposition to the draft law in the Council.
