Prime Minister: A Justice Ministry's commission is due to arrive tomorrow to Khmelnytsky to hold comprehensive verification of implementation of lustration law by all government authorities

"A Justice Ministry’s commission is due to arrive tomorrow to Khmelnytsky to hold comprehensive verification of implementation of the lustration law by the regional state administration, district state administrations, the State Fiscal Service, the tax police and all the state authorities", informed Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk during a working visit to Khmelnytsky at a meeting with RSA heads on Thursday, 6 August.

The Prime Minister announced he had already given appropriate instructions.

Arseniy Yatsenyuk stressed that macro changes in the country "are associated with a new police, a new Budget legislation, financial assistance for the country."

However, he said "people have a simple question – why lustration has not been held at the local level": "We have cleansed Ministers, Deputy Ministers, heads of departments. But why, in a particular area, certain corrupt official who has spent 10 or 15 years sitting in a district or regional administration, changes color and remains at the same place?"

"The people demand justice, and it is general public sentiment", accentuated the Head of Government.

"We should cleanse the system instead of changing colors and party membership card," said Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
