CEO, Naftogaz of Ukraine - Andriy Kobolev
Are efforts to reform Ukraine's state energy company being sabotaged from the very top?
Shaun Ley speaks to Andriy Kobolyev, CEO of Ukaine鈥檚 Naftogaz. Ukraine is a country at war with itself, and not just because of separatists in the east. Corruption is endemic, especially in state industries. Andriy Kobolyev, CEO of state-run energy company Naftogaz is trying to clean it up. He wants to make gas more expensive, because massive subsidies discourage investment and encourage waste. But energy scams are a big source of income for some powerful people. Are his efforts being sabotaged from the very top?
