Nolan Peterson: The top spy who is fighting corruption in Ukraine
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.
Ukraine should reorganize its government through constitutional reform, installing a modified semi-presidential system and choosing the heads of the four government branches in alternating years.
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.
