Ukraine’s former top security official has gone from tracking down Russian spies to fighting what he perceives to be the country’s greatest threat—corruption.
Corrupt officials are never satisfied with their illicit gains, and Ukraine should carry out comprehensive constitutional reform to root them out of government. This can be done by directly electing the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches and having 1/4 of all MPs face election each year. In addition, election campaigns should be free of charge to all candidates to cut the links between corruption and the public sector. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
