Parliament dismisses Patskan as Accounting Chamber head
MP from the Hos parliamentary faction, Yaroslav Zhelezniak, announced this on Telegram.
According to him, 250 MPs voted in favor of the relevant decision.
Thus, Valer Patskan was dismissed from the post of chairman and member of the Accounting Chamber.
Patskan called it “a pitical decision”. "From the state point of view, it is a fully pitical decision, which, I am sure, will be given a legal assessment in the future," he wrote on Facebook.
As reported, in October 2022, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau informed Patskan about the suspicion of illegally receiving UAH 117,650 in compensation for housing. In early November, the Accounting Chamber head wrote a letter of resignation.

In December 2022, the issue to dismiss the Accounting Chamber head was put up for vote in the Verkhovna Rada, but it did not secure enough votes.
On April 10, 2023, the Verkhovna Rada’s budget committee recommended that the parliament decide by voting on the draft resution of no confidence in Chairman of the Accounting Chamber Valer Patskan, which will result in his dismissal.
