The United States Embassy in Ukraine called on official Kiev to approve the results of the competition to elect the head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP).
“The United States calls on the members of the commission on the election of the SAP leadership to return to work, respect their own procedures and make the right decision for the people of Ukraine, approving their own choice of the head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office,” the agency wrote on Twitter.
Also, the American embassy called on the commission to elect a new head of the SAP not to allow “corrupt outside forces to block the work that was entrusted to her.”
Recall that in December, the selection committee voted for the election of the detective of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau Alexander Klimenko as the new head of the SAP. It is noteworthy that Klimenko was recognized, but not declared the winner of the competition. SAP has been left without a leader since the resignation of the head of the department, Nazar Kholodnitsky, in 2020.
