NABU and SAPO: Zelensky's bill passed the main committee

The Verkhovna Rada Committee on Law Enforcement supported president Volodymyr Zelenskyy's draft law, which aims to restore the independence of anti-corruption agencies. This became known from the broadcast of the Committee, which was hosted by the MP from the Holos Yaroslav Zheleznyak.

The committee supported the presidential draft law as a basis and as a whole, so that the parliament could pass it in one reading.

The decision was unanimously supported by 19 members of the Committee, which is the main for this draft law. No MPs opposed or abstained.

Voting in the session hall is scheduled for July 31.

• The need for a new document arose after the Rada supported and Zelenskyy signed a bill on July 22 that abolished the independence of NABU and SAPO. This caused large protests in Ukrainian cities and negative reaction of partners – and on July 23, the head of state promised to submit a new draft law, and the next day the document already registered in the parliament.
