Odesa OVA refused for the third time to disclose Kiper’s and his deputies’ salaries, citing national security
Odesa OVA for the third time did not provide the Center for Public Investigations (CPI) with data on the salaries of the head of the administration, Oleh Kiper, his first deputy, Oleksandr Kharlov, and deputy Oleksii Khymchenko.
The administration explained that the officials are servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine, so their financial data are classified in the interest of national security. The salary of the director of the Department of Health Protection, Oksana Rokunets-Sorochan, was also not disclosed, with the administration citing her status as a family member of a serviceman.
In April, journalists appealed the refusal to Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets, but his representative in the Odesa region, Ihor Mishchenko, recognized the right to information as "restored" after the OVA issued a repeat response. According to the CPI, in substance this was the same refusal.
As previously reported by the ANTICOR portal, five leaders of Odesa OVA have already exceeded annual salaries for the 2025 year.
