Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers has accepted the resignation tendered by Member of the National Agency for Corruption Prevention (NACP) Ruslan Riaboshapka.
“The Cabinet accepted Riaboshapka’s resignation,” Vice Prime Minister Pavlo Rozenko told Interfax-Ukraine on Wednesday, June 14.
A corresponding decision was taken at a government meeting on June 14.
As was reported, Riaboshapka announced on June 9 that he had decided to resign.
“Supporting demands of society and the government, with the aim of quickly establishing effective work of the NACP, I today tendered my resignation with Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers,” he wrote on his Facebook page on June 9.
Riaboshapka said NACP operations “require immediate steps, because any delays could discredit not only the idea of effective crime prevention but also deepen frustration of our compatriots in the ability to achieve substantive results in overcoming corruption.”
He called on parliament members to support a bill re-launching the NACP and said he would be willing to assist the NACP in future.
Riaboshapka joined NACP on March 16, 2016.
