People's Deputy of Ukraine Volodymyr Bondar is initiating an investigation into the facts of violation of current Ukrainian legislation by the head of the Volyn Regional State Administration A. Frantsuz, his deputies V. Panchyshyn, S. Rodych, H. Yakymchuk and the head of the Horokhiv District State Administration Ye. Horbenko,which are set out in an article by Serhiy Ovcharenko in the newspaper "2000". The all-Ukrainian weekly "2000" of 20 February 2004 published the article "Three Envelopes as an Inheritance", in which the author cites facts of abuse by officials of the Volyn Regional State Administration regarding the illegal acquisition of real estate or other property using privileges and advantages not provided for by current legislation. \nCommenting on the article, Volodymyr Bondar said: "The actions taking place today in the Volyn Regional State Administration cannot be called anything other than corrupt." The deputy is convinced that "the competent authorities must respond to the facts set out in the publication and provide a legal assessment and take measures regarding such actions." Answering journalists' questions about who benefited from the article, the parliamentarian noted: "If President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma was absolutely sincere in his Address to the people of Ukraine, in which he proclaimed a programme to combat corruption, then at least it was beneficial to him." The publication, according to the deputy, makes it clear to the authorities that "it is no longer possible to tolerate facts of corruption on such a scale. Ordinary citizens of Ukraine and Volyn residents in particular will benefit from this." \nAn appeal to the Head of the Coordination Committee on Combating Corruption and Organized Crime under the President of Ukraine Tetiana Korniakova has already been prepared by the people's deputy. Based on the results of the verification, Volodymyr Bondar demands that officials be held accountable in accordance with Art. 7 of the Law of Ukraine "On Combating Corruption" and that the issue of holding officials of Volyn region accountable for improper performance of their duties regarding the prevention of corruption and organized crime be raised. \n
