NABU demands justification for the purchase of an armored vehicle for Naftogaz

naftogazNABU officers sent Naftogaz an official document demanding clarification on the basis of which imported armored vehicles were purchased for the company's needs. The high-profile news that the state agency was purchasing armored vehicles of the prestigious Mercedes brand was announced back in early August. However, somewhat later than the tender was announced, the corporation's press service announced that the vehicles would be provided free of charge.

 

And yet, the story isn't over. As stated in the official request: "I request that you promptly, but no later than three business days from the receipt of the request, provide NABU with information regarding the grounds and necessity for the purchase by the State Enterprise "Naftogazobsluguvannya" of PJSC "Naftogaz of Ukraine" of a Mercedes Benz S600 GUARD vehicle at a price of UAH 5,100,000.00, as well as provide duly certified copies of the tender documentation."

 

The request document was sent directly to the head of the board of Naftogaz of Ukraine (Andriy Kobolev - Read more about it in the article Andrey Kobolev. An unnoticed "veteran" of the gas pipeline.). By a strange coincidence, he was the subject of an incident late last year: unknown assailants fired on him with automatic weapons as he left his home, after which the then-Prime Minister (Arseniy Yatsenyuk) provided him with his own armored car, demanding that Kobolev drive it exclusively. This information was shared with journalists by none other than Interior Minister Arsen Avakov.
