Ukrainian reporter and activist Dmitri Gordon notes that there is a strong tool the people can use to link up to each other - the internet community. They plan to use Facebook and other social network platforms to create a database of corruption among officials, judges and prosecutors including photos and information, and make it available to the public.
Publishing photos and information will not end corruption, the only way to do that is to remove the structural factors enabling corruption to thrive: the lack of mechanisms such as separation of powers and checks and balances. The Ukrainian people must call for constitutional reform to implement direct election of the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches. One term of 5 years should be the limit, and no eligibility for office for 6 years afterwards. 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year, and elections should be free for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
