Yesterday I was told by various sources, mostly off the record, that Khomenko has nothing to do with Tatarov. So there may be several reasons:
- that is indeed the case;
- or I “blew the lid off the operation”;
- he is indeed being considered for prosecutor general.
Overall, considering the potential candidates for prosecutor general, Iunushas, the head of the Verkhovna Rada law enforcement committee, is certainly closer to Tatarov than Khomenko. He headed the committee after Monastyrsky and has always diligently followed the Presidential Office’s instructions. Although it should be understood that these were not only the directing proposals of the deputy head of the Presidential Office, but, first and foremost, the President’s directives. He was also behind that infamous bill on NABU and SAP last year.
At the same time, I note that Iunushas supported our newly created special commission on military justice and joined it, even though in the committee bills on these issues were not finalized over the years. Now it should be different.
The Verkhovna Rada law enforcement committee in general is heavily dependent on the positions of deputies such as Servant of the People’s Buhzansky and former OPZZh member Mamka, so the atmosphere there is peculiar. Recently, at Buhzansky’s request, anti-corruption bills were removed from the session agenda, and then they were returned amid scandal... The law enforcement committee and the anti-corruption committee, in particular its chair Radina, are in a constant “philosophical” dispute.
But, despite the sinfulness of the Verkhovna Rada law enforcement committee, it is many times more active and even more effective than the impotent defense committee, and this is partly thanks to Iunushas and his colleagues. It also demonstrates how dreadful the state of the defense committee in parliament is in the middle of a war. I’ll remind you: their only high-profile project over the summer was a proposal to strengthen state security for those in power. And this is not a joke.
As for Maliuk, such a candidacy was not considered. Vasyl Vasyliovych is currently focused on substantive projects.
