Ukraine has chosen an experienced investigator to head the anti-corruption prosecutor's office, pending approval by the country's prosecutor general, parliament said on Tuesday.
It said in a statement that Oleksandr Klymenko had been selected by a special competition commission in a process that lasted several months. Klymenko previously worked for the national anti-corruption bureau, another state body fighting corruption.
Progress in fighting corruption, including the appointment of an anti-corruption prosecutor, is one of Kyiv's long-term commitments to its Western partners. The former head of the anti-corruption prosecutor's office quit nearly two years ago.
