The government announces an open competition for the position of ARMA head

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine announces an open and transparent competition for the position of Head of the National Agency for the Detection, Search and Management of Assets Obtained from Corruption and Other Crimes (ARMA). The acceptance of documents from candidates began today, 26 October, and will continue for one month until 26 November 2026 inclusive.

KV learned about this from a report on the Government Portal.

As Prime Minister of Ukraine Serhiy Koretsky informed, “everyone who has managerial experience, an impeccable reputation and a desire to be useful to their country” is invited to take part in the competition.

“The Agency needs a leader trusted by both the public and our partners,” Koretsky emphasized. “During the war every seized asset must work in the interests of the state.

Earlier the Selection Commission for the appointment of the head of ARMA approved the announcement on the conditions and timing of the competition for the agency’s chief position.

The acceptance of documents from candidates began today, 26 October, and will continue for one month until 26 November 2026 inclusive.

This is already the second attempt to appoint the head of ARMA. The previous competition did not take place because the sole candidate, Viktor Dubovyk, did not receive the required number of votes to have his candidacy submitted for consideration by the Cabinet of Ministers.
