On the eve over the fateful voting of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for the constitutional decentralization amendments Andrii Sadovyi said some persons are trying to bribe the Samopomich Association faction.

Taking in account all the seriousness of such words, I call on the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine and the National Anticorruption Bureau of Ukraine to shortly investigate and give their legal estimate to the facts, if they are confirmed, and to inform the Verkhovna Rada about the results of respective investigation.

I call on Andrii Sadovyi to provide all required information to ensure holding of objective and proper investigation.

The whole European society and the whole democratic world are watching us. We do not have a right to be indifferent to the decentralization and play political misunderstanding games. The reforms and the future of Ukraine are at stake.
