As of today, the Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has appointed Artem Sytnyk the Director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau. The Head of State has introduced the new Director to the public and emphasized that his task would be to build a new institution that would demonstrate Ukraine’s determination in the struggle against corruption, President Petro Poroshenko Press Office reports.
As to the President, the trust of people is the most important aspect in the activity of the newly appointed Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. «All efforts will be vain without such trust,» Poroshenko noted.
As to the report, 9 members of the Contest Commission have considered in total over 170 candidates and submitted just 2 contenders for the approval by the President - Mykola Siryi and Artem Sytnyk.
The President has emphasized that the members of the Commission had made their decision independently and impartially. «Why is it important? Because 9 people share the responsibility for the candidates they suggest to the President,» he said.
In his turn, Artem Sytnyk told journalists that he had heard about the appointment «five minutes ago». He assured that he understood the scale of responsibility. «First: this law enforcement body is being created from scratch. Second: struggle against corruption begins not from scratch, but even from the lower level. At the same time, this body will investigate the issues related to senior officials,» he noted. Artem Sytnyk added that «the public is not going to wait for the results of the Bureau’s work for years».
In meanwhile, Sytnyk admits the applicants who have lost the contest can still be involved in the work of this institution.
