The second part of the article deals with the activities of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecution Office of Ukraine, the State Bureau of Investigation and other anti-corruption institutions. Following the results of research conclusion has been drawn that to ensure the national security of Ukraine it is necessary to review the mechanisms for bringing public to the work of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention. At the same time, it is necessary to introduce legislative restrictions for the selection of personnel and work of the NACP due to the lack of professionalism and incompetence, their involvement to various commissions by interested politicians and foreign advisors who were not checked by the State Security Service of Ukraine. The author proposes to introduce individual liability for the members of the Commission, clear criteria for selection of members of the NACP and requirements which prove the decisions of the Commission in legislation. Taking into account the conducted analysis it is necessary to change the procedure of organizing a competition to hold positions in the agency and review whether management of the NACP complied with the held positions.

As an alternative the NACP can join the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine which will guarantee independence from political influence. The main factor of the lack of progress in counteraction to corruption in Ukraine is political dependence of all anti-corruption bodies.

This research uses alternative sources of information such as monitoring reports of non-governmental organizations, materials of journalist investigations, speeches of law experts, politicians and public officials, published reports of state agencies which perform functions related to prevention of corruption. The purpose of the article is to identify efficacy of a new system related to prevention of corruption since last 5 years particularly due to reforming of criminal justice agencies. Since the beginning of its work to June 2018 the National Anti-Corruption Agency checked only 331 declarations among 1 mil. which had been submitted by public officials. Among them the Anti-Corruption Agency detected incompliances in 45 declarations which means undeclared property. Officials who did not provide full information were represented by members of the parliament, six prosecutors, three low level public officials of central executive agencies. Such low indicators including other disadvantages in the work of the state agency prove the failure in the work of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau.
