Deputy Kostiuk Exits Faction: New Challenges for Anti-Corruption

Dmytro Kostiuk, a member of parliament, has declared his exit from the 'Servant of the People' faction in response to the adoption of a law jeopardizing the independence of NABU and SAP.

"I have decided to leave the parliamentary faction 'Servant of the People'. This is my reaction to the vote that took place last week. I participated in the Revolution of Dignity, and I remember how we all yearned for change. I have always supported Ukraine's European choice: 'Away from Moscow'. The Revolution of Dignity, in particular, laid the groundwork for the establishment of an anti-corruption system, despite all the questions towards NABU and SAP," emphasized Dmytro Kostiuk.

The deputy also noted that he will support the presidential bill that aims to restore the independence of NABU and SAP.

Kostiuk voted for the law that made anti-corruption bodies dependent on the decisions of the Attorney General.

Reference: Dmytro Kostiuk was elected to the Verkhovna Rada in the early elections of 2019 from constituency No. 65 in Zhytomyr region.
