According to the department representative: “Lustration is not what people think”, RBC-Ukraine reports.
For the last year and a half 940 state officials were suspended from their posts out of 5 thousand, falling within the purview of the Law “On Purification of Authorities”, Head of Lustration Department of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine Tatiana Kozachenko said.
“Not more than 5 thousand people out of 300 thousand state officials fall under lustration”, Kozachenko said.
Meanwhile, she emphasized that the law on lustration is the temporary suspension from posts of “a very narrow set of people”.
“Lustration is not what people think. It is not an overall justice and detention of everybody”, Kozachenko summarized.
