🕵️♀️🕵️♀️ NABU and SAP. Fight Against Corruption or Fight for Power?
Dear channel subscribers!
❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
The editorial board of our channel has been drawing attention for several years to a process we call anti-corruption expansion in Ukraine.
🔴 We have repeatedly expressed concern that, under the slogans of fighting corruption, a system of influence by NABU and SAP over state institutions may be gradually forming.
And finally other media outlets have also noticed this problem.
INSIDER UA reports that four “former” NABU detectives who previously investigated corruption at Ukrzaliznytsia now work in the security department of that same company.
❗️ But are they really “former”?
Is it impossible that some of them continue to cooperate with NABU or even remain active employees, carrying out tasks undercover?
We do not have confirmation of such circumstances, but we believe that the question about the nature of their current ties with NABU deserves attention.
❗️ Journalist Yuriy Nikolov even called NABU “a great forge of personnel.”
And now the most interesting part.
In our view, the issue long ago went beyond the ordinary fight against corruption.
After all, when “former” representatives of anti-corruption bodies gradually move into leadership positions in state enterprises, regulatory, law enforcement and other state institutions, the question arises:
🟥🟥 Is this a fight against corruption or a gradual seizure of the levers of state governance?
We see in such processes the risk of forming a parallel system of influence over the state, where control can be exercised not only through criminal proceedings but also through personnel presence in key institutions.
And if such a trend really has a systemic character, then this is already a question not only of anti-corruption policy but also of possible concentration of power and threats to the institutional independence of the state.
Of course, the mere fact of employing “former” detectives does not yet prove the existence of a coordinated plan to seize power. But isn’t it time to investigate these personnel processes and possible conflicts of interest?
And now a bit of irony from the editorial board.
⚠️ It seems the final stage of this anti-corruption reform will be electing one of the “former” NABU detectives as President of Ukraine.
ℹ️ And then, perhaps, the fight against corruption can be officially declared over.
After all, all state institutions will already have their “right” leaders.
Let us recall a simple truth: anti-corruption bodies were created to fight corruption, not to govern the state.
