The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine dismissed seven members of the Accounting Chamber. Their term of office has expired. This was reported by Komersant ukrainskyi 
citing MP from the Voice party Yaroslav Zheleznyak.
“Parliament dismissed seven members of the Accounting Chamber whose term of office expired on 15 March 2024,”
– zheleznyak wrote on Telegram.
According to him, the decision was supported by 264 MPs.
Viktor Bohun, Andriy Didyk, Vasyl Nevidomyi, Iryna Ivanova, Ognj Caesar, Ihor Yaremchuk and Andriy Maisner were dismissed. The latter was the Deputy Chairman of the Accounting Chamber.
Zheleznyak noted that now the Accounting Chamber has only five members left.
“But my colleagues insist that it will still be able to make decisions (this is how they creatively interpret the quorum),”
– he emphasised.
The Accounting Chamber itself said that its chairman Olha Pishchanska, deputy chairman Serhiy Kliuchka, and members Kyrylo Klymenko, Hennadiy Plis and Yelyzaveta Pushko-Tsybulyak remained in office.
The agency noted that according to the Final and Transitional Provisions of the Law on the Accounting Chamber, its meeting is competent if it is attended by at least two-thirds of the number of members actually appointed by the Verkhovna Rada. In other words, 5 members is not enough, but after 15 March, when the term of office of seven members appointed in 2018 expired, the Accounting Chamber continued its powers.
According to Kommersant Ukrayinsky the head of the Accounting Chamber may be dismissed in the near future. As you know, the current head of the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine, Olga Pishchanska, was appointed only a few months ago – in early January 2024.
Resignations in the Cabinet of Ministers
As reported, the Cabinet of Ministers and other government agencies are scheduled to be reset. Thus, personnel changes may take place in the government, the SBU and the Prosecutor General’s Office. The number of ministers who may lose their positions has increased. According to Kommersant Ukrainsky, the Rada may dismiss 3 ministers this week.
In particular, the following ministers may resign: Deputy Prime Minister for Recovery Oleksandr Kubrakov, Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration Iryna Vereshchuk, Minister of Education and Science Oksen Lisovyi, Minister of Justice Denys Malyuska, and Minister of Agrarian Policy Mykola Solskyi.
Some media outlets reported that Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration Iryna Vereshchuk was allegedly to be dismissed and appointed head of the Ternopil Regional Military Administration. She stated that the information was untrue.
Earlier, Kommersant Ukrainian wrote that a decision had been made at the highest political level to dismiss Oleksandr Kubrakov, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Community, Territorial and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine, and Mustafa-Masi Nayem, Head of the State Agency for the Restoration and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine.
The dismissal of the two officials was discussed on the sidelines earlier, but the final decision to dismiss them was made in connection with the situation with the construction of inadequate protection at some important critical infrastructure facilities.
