Media-breakfast “Truth and Myths about the Civil Service Draft Law” will be held on October 22 at 09:30 am at the office of the Reanimation Package of Reforms initiative (6 Olhynska St., off. 21).

In a couple of weeks the Ukrainian Parliament will consider the draft law “On Civil Service” (Reg. No. 2490), one of the most important draft laws required for the efficient implementation of the reforms. The issue of the civil service reform is key in the social political discussion. At the same time, the debates are full of myths and unconfirmed facts regarding the contents of the draft.

We invite you to participate in the discussion that will make the pros and cons of the draft law absolutely clear, as well as determine whether the political elites are ready for the real reform of the civil service. The speakers of the media-breakfast include:

Viktor Tymoshchuk, deputy head of the Centre of Policy and Legal Reform, expert of the Reanimation Package of Reforms

Denys Brodskyi, former head of the National Agency of Ukraine on Civil Service, expert of the Reanimation Package of Reforms

Aliona Shkrum, Member of Parliament of Ukraine, chair of the sub-committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on civil service.

Recent public opinion polls prove that this reform is of critical importance – it is the public officers whom 44% of the Ukrainian citizens consider one of the biggest barriers towards the reforms in the country. After the state leaders paid attention to the reform at last, and the specialized parliamentary committee did manage to consider and finalize amendments to the draft, there appeared a chance that this reform will finally get a legal framework in the coming plenary weeks.
