It can be about the size of shares in state-owned companies up to 30%.
The government talked about the privatization of a share of shares of NAEC “Energoatom” https://www.unian.ua/ facebook.com/atom.gov.uaAgainst the background of a large-scale corruption scandal in the energy sector, the government proposed to privatize a share of the shares of Energoatom NAEC.
As the Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine, Oleksiy Sobolev, said, this would significantly improve corporate governance in this company. He said this during a meeting of the Temporary Investigative Commission (TCC) on economic security, UNIAN correspondent reports.
“The most effective reform that can be is the privatization of everything that is possible. With regard to this enterprise (Energoatom – UNIAN), if there is a privatization of a share of this enterprise, it will allow to significantly improve corporate governance,” said Sobolev.
According to him, we may be talking about the size of the privatization of shares in state-owned companies of 10%, 20% or 30%.
“The period when the supervisory board may not make a decision will be shortened as much as possible, because there will be someone who will pay a lot of money for all this,” the minister said.
Opinions of political scientists and experts of various calibers are spreading in social networks that one of the motives of the current scandal was to create conditions for the sale of all or part of Energoatom to the “necessary people”.
According to conspiracy theorists, such an agreement could also financially insure Ukraine in 2026 in the event of a slippage of the “reparation loan”, which is still on hold due to the opposition of Belgium and some EU member states, which still do not dare to use frozen Russian assets, and to which the “Midas” case has thrown up additional arguments.
Corruption in “Energoatom” – what is knownOn November 10, NABU and SAP conducted an operation called “Midas” to expose a criminal organization operating in the energy sector. NABU noted at the time that high-ranking officials, politicians and businessmen were involved in the corruption scheme. Through this scheme, strategic state enterprises, in particular Energoatom, were influenced.
Later, the anti-corruption body released part of the records in this large-scale case in the energy industry. On the audio recordings, the suspects discuss corruption schemes.
According to this scheme, the criminal organization systematically received illegal benefits from the contractors of “Energoatom” in the amount of 10% to 15% of the value of the contracts.
On November 14, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy decided to remove Minister of Energy Svitlana Grynchuk and Minister of Justice Herman Galushchenko from the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine.
