We will remind, on March 23, deputies of the VR adopted amendments to the law on e-Declaration, according to which, representatives of public associations are obliged to submit reports on their incomes.
We will note, earlier people’s Deputy from the faction “people’s front” Tatiana Chornovol his amendment proposed to introduce e-Declaration and for individuals who are founders (participants), editors (the editors) media. But during the discussion the proposal was withdrawn because the journalists do not receive salaries from the budget and not live on taxpayers ‘ money, unlike civil servants.
We emphasize that the Embassy of the United States condemned the new changes to the law on e-Declaration.
“E-Declaration for senior public servants is a powerful step in the promotion of reforms in Ukraine. Members of civil society play a vital role in ensuring transparency; to make their target – take a step back,” said the Embassy.
