Members of the national parliament stated that the appointment of Oksana Ferchuk occurred without prior discussion with the relevant committee
The Verkhovna Rada Committee on Digital Transformation will appeal to Prime Minister Serhiy Kuretsky (Koretskyi) with a demand to explain why the new Minister of Digital Transformation Oksana Ferchuk was appointed without prior discussion with the parliamentary committee. This was reported by Glavcom, citing the Parliament's press service.
The deputies made this decision at the August meeting 6. The committee noted that in recent years the Ministry of Digital Transformation has implemented a number of reforms crucial for the state. At the same time, the lawmakers expressed concerns about ensuring continuity of the country's digital transformation, in particular the development of Defence Tech, digital anticorruption services, and Ukraine's integration into the European technological space.
In this regard, the committee members decided to send a letter to the prime minister requesting explanations for the reasons for the appointment without coordination with the profile committee. In addition, the deputies invited Oksana Ferchuk to the committee's meeting, where she should present the Ministry of Digital Transformation's program of activities and answer questions from parliamentarians.
Before joining the Ministry of Defense, Ferchuk worked as deputy minister of defense for digital development, digital transformations, and digitalization. She has a biology degree. Ferchuk began her career at the end of the 1990-s. She held executive positions at UMC (now Vodafone Ukraine), later in the Privat Group's structures, as well as in the Nova Poshta group and the Justin postal operator.
Prior to joining the Ministry of Defense, Ferchuk served during Oleksii Reznikov's tenure. She coordinated the implementation of the LOGFAS logistics system, the launch of the international cooperation platform 'Korovai,' and digital solutions for the Armed Forces, including the medical information system and the SAP logistics management system.
As a reminder, 16 in July the Verkhovna Rada voted to appoint the new Cabinet lineup of Ukraine. In total, together with the prime minister, the government members were chosen 17. Subsequently the Cabinet, with the president's agreement, approved Yurii Khmara as acting minister of defense, and Andrii Sibiha as acting head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
