Rozenko won't reinstate former State Employment Service head on his office

Ukrainian Social Policy Minister Pavlo Rozenko has said that he doesn't intend to comply with the court ruling to reinstate head of the State Employment Service Yaroslav Kashuba in his post.

"As far as I know, the investigation into allegations of bribery regarding the former State Employment Service head has not yet been completed; the case has not been transferred to court. Therefore, I do not see any grounds to restore Kashuba without a final court ruling per se," the press service of the Social Policy Ministry quoted Rozenko as saying.

Thus, in the words of the minister, there won't be an order to reinstate Kashuba in his previous post. "I do not intend to cancel my resolution dismissing Kashuba from the post of the State Employment Service head. … It is clear that we should soon expect the ex-head of the State Employment Service to appeal to court with a request to restore him in office," Rozenko added.

As reported, Kyiv's Pechersky District Court ruled to reinstate Yaroslav Kashuba as a head of the State Employment Service.

In September 2015, Kahuba was arrested in his official car in Kyiv city center, while receiving a bribe in the amount of UAH 622,000. Ukraine's Security Service jointly with the Prosecutor General's Office carried out the operation. Law enforcers also found a shotgun with ammunition in Kashuba's car, besides a large sum of money in foreign and national currencies.

What is more, the head of the tender committee of Ukraine's State Employment Service was also detained following a receipt of unlawful advantage.

The Kyiv's Pechersky District Court chose an identical restraint measure – detention permitting bail – for both the detained officials of the employment service
