Ivan Presniakov will be responsible for coordinating anti-corruption policy development, monitoring of compliance with legislation on conflicts of interest, and other restrictions on corruption prevention.
NACP Chairman also introduced a new Chief of Staff Ihor Khokhych, his Deputy Ihor Drobko and a new Head of the Department for the Prevention of Political Corruption Hanna Chornutska.
Oleksandr Novikov said that to complete the reboot of the NACP, he will introduce a new structure of the organization and NACP will conduct an open competition for the positions in the newly developed departments.
