Arseniy Yatsenyuk: lustration should be completed. Those who were part of the Yanukovych's regime are not eligible to be public servants
Prime Minister of
Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk has appealed to all the state executive bodies,
including the Interior Ministry, State Fiscal Service, the Security Service and
prosecutors "to complete the lustration and hire new, effective officials
for the country." He said this at a meeting of the Ministry of Justice of
Ukraine on Monday, June 22.
The Prime
Minister has stressed that the Venice Commission "clearly stated that
those who committed crimes against the Ukrainian state and was part of the Yanukovych’s corrupt regime - have no right to continue to
run the country."
"The process
of lustration in the country must be completed. Those who fall under
lustration, those who were part of the regime of Viktor Yanukovych, who led the
country to poverty, to war, to casualties on Maidan, and now sit with a badge
"People's Deputy of Ukraine", - they have no right to be public
servants," Arseniy Yatsenyuk emphasized.
