Yakymenko Pavlo Vitaliyovych

"Tender Mafia" and Vote Against NABU

MP from "Servant of the People" Pavlo Yakymenko in September 2020 was included in the so-called "tender mafia" — a group of deputies attempting to pass a bill on mandatory animal registration through private intermediaries. The goal was simple: to divert part of the state funds through front companies. In July 2025, Yakymenko voted for bill No. 12414 — which subordinated NABU and SAP to the Prosecutor General and effectively destroyed the independence of anti-corruption agencies.
