Cabinet of Ministers

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine is the highest body in the system of bodies of executive power of Ukraine. The Cabinet is responsible to the President of Ukraine and is under the control of and accountable to the Verkhovna Rada (parliament). It is composed of the Prime Minister, the First Vice Prime Minister, three Vice Prime Ministers and Ministers.

The Prime Minister is appointed by the President with the consent of more than one-half of the parliament. The personal composition of the Cabinet is appointed by the President on the submission of the Prime Minister.

Members of the Cabinet and chief officers of central and local bodies of executive power do not have the right to combine their official activity with other work, except teaching, scholarly and creative activity outside of working hours, or to be members of an administrative body or board of supervisors of an enterprise that is aimed at making profit.

The Cabinet issues resolutions and orders that are mandatory for execution. Normative legal acts of the Cabinet, ministries and other central bodies of executive power, are subject to registration. Failure to register invalidates the act.

The entire Cabinet was dismissed in September 2005 by the Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko, who then appointed Yuriy Yekhanurov as the new Prime Minister.

Outgoing members of the Cabinet included the former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Deputy Prime Minister Mykola Tomenko, and security chief Petro Poroshenko.
