Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk demands that 42% of high-ranking officials of the central office of Ukraine's State Fiscal Service and 15% of heads of its local offices be immediately dismissed following examination under the law on lustration.
"Two weeks ago I commissioned the Justice Ministry and the special department for lustration to examine the State Fiscal Service. Personal data files of 344 senior officials from the State Fiscal Service – both from the central office and the regional branches – have been checked. Following the examination, 42% of the high-ranking officials of the central office should immediately be dismissed, and 15% of the heads of the regional branches should be fired too," the premier said at a government meeting on Wednesday.
"And I demand that as soon as the examination is over, the State Fiscal Service's chief should dismiss without delay 42% of the State Fiscal Service's central office and 15% of regional heads of the service's branches in keeping with the [lustration] law," he added.
