The Ukrainian anti-corruption system is imperfect, there are many questions about its work, and most anti-corruption activists pursue this topic because it brings money. This is the opinion expressed in an interview with BBC News Ukraine by people's deputy, a member of the Verkhovna Rada committee on national security, defense, and intelligence, Serhiy Rakhmanin.
“The anti-corruption system is lame and not ideal. I have more questions about it than I would like. They are certainly not saints,” said Rakhmanin.
According to him, anti-corruption bodies have repeatedly significantly hampered the work of individual Ukrainian arms manufacturers, and some criminal cases were later collapsed.
“The harm to the country’s defense capability will never be reimbursed,” the deputy said.
Separately, Rakhmanin criticized some anti-corruption activists who set the trend for anti-corruption topics, investigations, and rhetoric. In his view, for some of them the fight against corruption has become not only a matter of public interest but also a source of income.
“Some people write about corruption not only because it hurts them, but because it’s fashionable. A large number of people wake up and go to bed with words about fighting corruption—this fight bores them. But it’s fashionable or simply brings money,” said Rakhmanin.
