Ukraine: MPs vote to sack top prosecutor
UKRAINIAN Prosecutor-General Viktor Shokin “resigned” yesterday — as the parliament in Kiev voted to sack him.
In a striking display of doublespeak, the website of the Verkhovna Rada said that Mr Shokin had quit after 289 of 450 members voted to sack him for going after the wrong people.
Economic Development Minister Aivaras Abromavicius tweeted: “Hallelujah! Finally!” on the news of Mr Shokin’s sacking.
