Presidential Questionnaire

In the context of the 2019 presidential election, NAKO developed a questionnaire for all candidates to hear their views on various aspects of corruption in the defence sector. Its purpose is for each candidate to inform the public about his or her position.

The presidential election in Ukraine took place in March 2019. Ukraine's defence budget for 2019 reached a historic record. Corruption continued to seize resources in the defence sector. Addressing corruption in the defence sector will increase Ukraine's national security and potential.

For the first time in Ukrainian history, there is a non-governmental organization with a respectable reputation in the country, that focuses on transparency and accountability in the defence sector. As part of its approach to NATO standards, NAKO offer to work with Liga.net and Chesno.UA during the election period to support civilian oversight by giving the public an understanding of how 2019 presidential candidates planned to address issues related to corruption in the defence sector.
