⚡️NABU is trying to stop the competition at SAP — a commission member reported interference and pressure.
⭕️A scandal has erupted in the competition for the deputy head of SAP. NABU Director Semen Kryvonos is attempting to intervene in the work of the selection commission and to remove lawyer Oleksiy Shevchuk from its membership.
“Semen Kryvonos personally prepared a letter full of media fakes about me as a public figure, lawyer, and independent commission member… and sent this letter to the chair of the commission selecting the deputy head of SAP,” Shevchuk said.
The lawyer called this pressure and an attempt to interfere with an independent competitive selection, since the NABU director has no authority to intervene in the work of the selection commission.
Shevchuk says that Kryvonos’s actions contain not only signs of criminal offenses but also threaten the independence of the commission as the body responsible for forming SAP, and demonstrate the complete impunity of the NABU chief.
The lawyer urged the parliamentary committee to create a temporary investigative commission to verify the circumstances and motives of the NABU leadership’s actions.
Kryvonos is committing another legal nonsense: by law, SAP is supposed to exercise prosecutorial oversight over NABU’s activities, yet in this situation NABU itself is attempting to impose its preferred selection on SAP.
