IMF ready to help NACP with checks of property of e-declarants abroad
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is ready to help the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) to check property of Ukrainian declarants located abroad, NACP Head Natalia Korchak has said.
"The IMF believes that the main focus of NACP during checks of declarations should be on high-ranking officials, fish rots from its head. The IMF promised comprehensive assistance in checking property and financial assets of Ukrainian declarants outside Ukraine," she said on Facebook.
Korchak said that Financial Sector Expert at the IMF Emmanuel Mathias said at a meeting in NACP that the fund is thoroughly monitoring the situation in Ukraine.
"They saw some inconsistency in declarations of some Ukrainian top officials: the welfare mentioned by international media is not included in the electronic register," she said.
Mathias said that the e-declaration system is Ukraine's significant accomplishment and there were few who believed that this is possible.
Korchak said that taking into account the absence of interest of some Ukrainian officials in the full-featured operation of the national agency, cooperation with international anti-corruption organizations would perhaps become the main tool in revealing dishonest Ukrainian officials.
