The team of President-elect Volodymyr Zelensky (Ze!Team) is discussing a possible change in the leadership of the Specialized Anti-corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) and the institutional strengthening of the National Anti-corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU).
“Today, a detailed action plan in terms of anti-corruption policy is at the stage of finalization. The Zelensky team has a clear agreement on the need to reset the National Agency on Corruption Protection (NACP). There is a very serious discussion on resetting the leadership of the Specialized Anti-corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO),” Halyna Yanchenko, a Ze!Team advisor on anti-corruption policy and digitalization, said on Facebook on Friday.
As for NABU, according to her, most of the team of the newly elected president “considers it necessary to support and strengthen NABU institutionally.”
“I also stand in these positions personally. Moreover, the plan for the first 100 days of the future president discusses the initiative to grant NABU the right to independently wiretap [only the SBU can do this now] from communication channels, a step the experts have advocated for a long time,” she said.
