If there is a political will Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada could quickly amend the institutional work of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP), Ukrainian Justice Minister Pavlo Petrenko has said.

"I think that with the political will of parliament this [the change of NACP operation] could be done via passing the relevant amendments to legislation and quickly introducing the new structure of NACP work," the minister told reporters in Kyiv on Thursday.

Petrenko said that the main thing for NACP is to pass the second stage of declarations and then the issue of institutional changes should be raised. The mistakes made during the creation of the agency as a collegial body should be fixed.

The minister believes that the collegial body is inefficient.

"Millions of Ukrainians assess [the work of NACP]. They expected that this public agency that uses hundreds of millions of funds of taxpayers would work effectively and fight corruption, and not to hear permanent problems and complaints that we fail to do something," he said.

Petrenko said that the work of NACP in the past year is ineffective.
