Political scholar Alexei Yakubin warns that while the aim of the judiciary reform bill is to fight corruption and preserve the independence of judiciary, the actual result is that Ukraine’s President and his team will gain even more influence over the judicial system.
Ukrainian judicial reform must include election of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the head of the procuratorial branch, who will be directly responsible to the Ukrainian people. Candidates may be of any nationality and will serve one term of 5 years with no right to run again for 6 years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
