In January 2016 the Russian Duma proposed increasing the fine for governors whose budgets are in the red to 500,000 rubles as well as a jail sentence of up to 5 years.
For a perfect and clean government, the spoils system must be completely eliminated. Governors, Comptrollers and Auditors should be elected for one term of 5 years and banned from running again for 6 years afterward. Candidates for governor should campaign independently, while those running for Comptroller and Auditor should campaign together.to encourage new forces to become involved in the system.
