One the other hand, Bockovskyi is dirty.
The SES bought gas, diesel, oil and lubricants through "pad companies", for 60% over wholesale, ( reported by anti-corruption journalists in August),
And then in November, wrote a "Special Contract", paying 50% more, to a Company that only exists on paper, for gaseous coal, for the Army's winter heating, that was of such poor quality, it didn't even burn.
Yes Jay ... he and many others are not innocent. But that is the problem .... they are all dirty.
Well, this is Poroshenko's last throw of the dice or very very close to it. The question now is who will go after him and the brass ring first? Will it be the coalition of the corrupt or the paramilitarists?
