"Money back to the budget": deputy Torokhtiy spoke about possible exclusion from the Servant of the People party
Head of the Servant of the People faction David Arakhamiya urged the deputy to resign. Bohdan Torokhohtiy promised to return the housing rent compensation to the Ukrainian budget and to continue helping the country and the Armed Forces.
Member of Parliament from the Servant of the People faction Bohdan Torokhohtiy 8 August commented to journalists on the possible expulsion from the political force and stated that he would return to the budget the money received as housing rent compensation, reported "Krayina".
"The position of the faction. They have that right," said Bohdan Torokhohtiy.
When asked by the outlet whether he would voluntarily resign as urged by faction head David Arakhamiya, Torokhohtiy replied: "Everything needs to be considered."
However, the parliamentarian stated that he would return the money to the budget that Arakhamiya mentioned.
"I will return the money to the budget and, as always, I will continue to help our state and the Armed Forces," Torokhohtiy said.
What preceded the scandal
Head of the Servant of the People faction David Arakhamiya initiated the expulsion of the People's Deputy Bohdan Torokhohtiy from the faction. He also urged the deputy to resign. About this 8 in August Arakhamiya wrote in Telegram.
"Bohdan Torokhohtiy had time to explain his behavior during the war and try to rehabilitate himself in some way. As an option — sell something from his family’s elite car fleet and donate the funds to defense needs. This does not excuse anyone, but at least shows that the person realized his mistake and will not act like this again. But none of this was done. More than that, we learned that while Bohdan Torokhohtiy’s family bought elite property, they continued to receive housing rent compensation from the budget," wrote Arakhamiya.
Therefore, according to the faction head, Torokhohtiy must return the money to the budget and resign from his deputy mandate.
