You go to power – prepare a declaration. Know – they will check it!


Public controllers presented the results of the monitoring campaign “Declarations without scenery”, which explored the lifestyle of Yanukovych’s high -ranking officials and identified the reasons for its inconsistency with declared wealth.

That is why public activists of Ukraine have collected and explored more than 400 declarations of officials published in 2011 and 2012 within the framework of the Declaration without scenery campaign. The monitoring initiative is coordinated by Transparency International Ukraine, and the coalition includes more than 40 NGOs, journalistic agencies and individual investigators from all over the country. The declarations of ministers, heads of the RSA, mayors of regional centers, as well as all their deputies were subject to inspections. Activists collected data into a single database and created an online map of declarations for 2011-2012 www.anticorruption.in.ua/declarations/map

The results of the monitoring revealed the flashy inconsistencies of the lifestyle of officials to the wealth they have declared.

Why was it possible and how to deal with it?

The problem of unreliable income declaration is possible due to existing gaps in legislation, where there is no control over the property declarations of employees, there are no mechanisms for detecting the inaccuracy of data, no sanctions for false data are provided. The maximum amount of the fine for the declaration is ridiculous UAH 435 (25 non -taxable minimums of citizens).

In order to change this situation, civic activists, headed by Transparency International Ukraine and together with the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, are already developing innovations at the legislative level, which should resolve the conflict of interests of public servants and introduce effective financial control over the fortune of officials. In particular, they anticipate:

Establishment of the National Commission on Corruption Prevention, which will include the verification of employees’ declarations and their actual lifestyle.

Creation of a nationwide electronic system of property declarations of employees with free online access to it.

Significant strengthening of liability both for the submission of their own declarations by employees and for false information in them.

The rating is not virtuous of highly officials of Zhytomyr region, in which lifestyle exceeds official income:

1. or 44 times;

2. Mykola Daisan, ex-deputy head of the Regional State Administration for 1 980 021,00 UAH. or 19 times, and according to the results of 2013 for 1 606 579,00 UAH. or 5 times;
