The head of Kyiv region, Tymur Tkachenko, ordered that the directive of his predecessor—and current Prosecutor General of Ukraine—Ruslan Kravchenko, on the procedure for conducting inspections of the organization of work to prevent and detect corruption be declared invalid. Instead, a new procedure for anti-corruption inspections in the capital region has been put into effect. KV analyzed what changed.
KV learned about this from Order No.1988 of the Kyiv Regional State Administration – Kyiv Regional Military Administration dated 3 September 2026 and Order No.633 of KODA – KOVA dated 3 June 2024 with an annex.
“To declare invalid the order of the Kyiv Regional State Administration (Kyiv Regional Military Administration) dated 03 June 2024 No.633 ‘On approval of the Procedure for conducting inspections of the organization of work on preventing and detecting corruption in district state administrations (district military administrations) of Kyiv region, the Hostomel settlement military administration of Bucha district of Kyiv region, structural subdivisions of the Kyiv Regional State Administration, enterprises, institutions, and organizations that belong to the sphere of management of the Kyiv Regional State Administration (Kyiv Regional Military Administration),’” reads Order No.1988.
Comparing the documents, a key change is that the new procedure has a shorter title and a different structure. While Kravchenko’s order explicitly specified in the title that inspections concerned district state administrations, district military administrations, the Hostomel settlement military administration, KODA structural subdivisions, and subordinate enterprises, institutions, and organizations, the new document is titled more generally: “On approval of the Procedure for conducting inspections of the organization of work on preventing and detecting corruption.”
The new procedure separately sets out the purpose, subject, and tasks of the inspection, whereas in Kravchenko’s previous version the detailed purpose, subject, and tasks were not specifically defined—only the mechanism for checking the state of anti-corruption work organization was mentioned.
Specifically, the new procedure defines the purpose as the assessment of the state of organization of work to prevent and detect corruption, compliance with anti-corruption legislation, identification of causes and conditions that contribute to corruption or corruption-related offenses, and the preparation of recommendations for their elimination.
The subject of the inspection is defined as orders and other documents, materials related to the prevention and detection of corruption of the inspection object, and compliance with anti-corruption legislation. The objects are named as the structural subdivisions of KODA – KOVA, district state administrations of the region, as well as enterprises, institutions, and organizations that fall under the administration’s sphere of management.
One of the most noticeable changes concerns the frequency of inspections. In the 2024 version, a planned inspection of the same object could be conducted no more often than once every two years. In the new procedure inspections become less frequent—once every three years.
The maximum extension period for an inspection has also changed. Under the old procedure, an inspection could not exceed 30 working days, but if necessary it could be extended to 60 working days. The new procedure retains the base period of 30 working days, but the maximum extension has been reduced to 45 working days.
The grounds for unscheduled inspections were also changed. In the 2024 version, such grounds included a written application from the object itself to conduct an inspection, information about possible violations, and failure to submit mandatory reporting or the detection of inaccurate data in it. In the new edition, an unscheduled inspection is conducted when there is information with factual data about possible violations of the law and other normative legal acts—for example, more than three distinct violations during a calendar year—and also on the basis of a written proposal from the head of the anti-corruption department to the head of the administration.
The new procedure also details the list of issues subject to inspection. Among other things, it adds checking whether declarants submitted declarations, informing officials of the restrictions and prohibitions provided by law, measures to identify conflicts of interest, facilitating their resolution, and providing methodological and consultative assistance on compliance with anti-corruption legislation.
The new edition separately stipulates the right of the officials and employees of the inspection object to refuse an authorized person from conducting an inspection in the absence of a directive for the inspection and an official ID card.
At the same time, the old procedure contained a provision that a separate order of the head—chief of KOVA—was issued to conduct a planned or unscheduled inspection. The new procedure emphasizes the inspection assignment, which is signed by the head of the administration or, in his absence, by the deputy according to the distribution of duties.
They also changed the approach to additional documents. The old procedure provided that the period for submitting additional documents in response to a written request could not be less than three working days from the date of receipt of the request. The new procedure only states that the request must specify a deadline for the submission of such documents and materials.
The new order also approves schedules for conducting planned inspections. In 2026, they plan to inspect Obukhiv District State Administration in October, Fastiv District State Administration in November, Hostomel settlement military administration of Bucha district in November, and the Regional Center for Advanced Training of Kyiv region in December.
In 2027 the schedule includes the Internal Audit Department, the Department of Ecology and Natural Resources, the International Cooperation Department, the Department of Regional Development, the Department of Economics, the Department of Civil Protection and Defense Affairs, the Regional Contact Center, the Department of Social Protection of the Population, the Department of Finance, the Department of Communications, and the Transportation Infrastructure Department.
In 2028 planned inspections are to be carried out for the Department of Urban Planning and Architecture, the Department of Health Protection, the Digitalization and Digital Transformations Department, and the Department of Culture and Tourism.
As previously reported by KV, Tymur Tkachenko has been head of KOVA since the end of July 2026. Before him, from the end of March 2025, the position was held by Mykola Kalashnyk, who is now the Minister for Restoration, Infrastructure and Transport of Ukraine.
Tkachenko previously served as chief of KMVA from 31 December 2024 to 16 July 2026. He also once oversaw the capital’s public amenities as head of the relevant department of the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA). In August 2023 the Cabinet of Ministers appointed Tymur Tkachenko as Deputy Minister for Strategic Industries, and in September 2024 as Deputy Minister for the Development of Communities and Territories.
