The Competition Commission consists of 11 people. Namely: 4 representatives of previously appointed by the Council of Prosecutors and 7 delegates of the Verkhovna Rada. Members of the Commission may be persons with impeccable business reputation, professional and moral qualities, who have public authority. Significant experience in the field of anti-corruption is also required. However, it is unknown whether Servants of the People examined the compliance of selected candidates with the criteria of the law.

The law prohibits civil servants, officials who hold political positions, Members of Parliament and party members, military and law enforcement officers to be part of the Commission.

The Verkhovna Rada must appoint its representatives to the Commission within 3 months from the selection of representatives by the Council of Prosecutors, namely until September 4. Next, the candidates, who were nominated by all factions, must be selected by the Verkhovna Rada by rating voting. If the Parliament does not select anyone by then, the Commission will include only 4 members from the Council of Prosecutors.

After selecting the winner of the competition for the position of the head of the SAPO, the Commission nominates this candidate for appointment to the Prosecutor General. The same Commission also selects candidates for administrative positions in the SAPO. Today, the position of the deputy head of the SAPO is also vacant.
