Shaun Ley speaks to Andriy Kobolyev, CEO of Ukaine’s 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?
