18 MPs propose to Rada to equalize accrual of disability pensions for prosecutors with accruals for other citizens

18 Members of Parliament propose to the Verkhovna Rada to equalize the accrual of disability pensions for prosecutors with similar pension accruals for other citizens of Ukraine.

The relevant bill, No. 12149, on amendments to some laws regarding the issues of pension provision of prosecutor's office employees was registered in the Rada on October 24, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

The text of the bill is not yet available on the Rada’s website.

At the same time, one of the authors of the bill, Inna Sovsun (the Holos faction), reported on Facebook ork that it is about equalizing the principle of calculating disability pensions for employees of the prosecutor's office with other citizens.

"My team and I have submitted a bill for registration to equalize the principle of accrual of disability pensions for employees of the prosecutor's office with other citizens of Ukraine. We also ask to send all prosecutors who have been diagnosed with a disability for re-examination," she wrote.

Co-authors of the bill are Mariana Bezuhla (non-affiliated), Halyna Tretiakova (Servant of the People), Mykola Tyshchenko (non-affiliated).

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on October 22, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council regarding the situation with medical and social expert commissions (MSECs) and abuses of disability by officials.

After the meeting, Zelenskyy said that Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin should bear political responsibility for the situation in the prosecutor's office.

Kostin announced after the NSDC meeting that he was resigning.

The Prosecutor General’s Office found the largest number - almost 30% - of prosecutors with disabilities in the Cherkasy and Khmelnytskyi Regions.
