Creative Union “TORO” (Contact group in Ukraine of Transparency International) during last month received a great amount of inquiries from civil society organizations of Ukraine with the request to define separate norms of new anti corruption legislation. In particular, civic leaders were disturbed by the fact that since now they as leaders of civic structures were not allowed to conduct any other paid activity, including business activity. We would like to state right away that there are no grounds to be worried about. Below, we offer an expert comment, which was prepared by Oleksandr Vinnikov, European Law Development Network. We, in our turn, ask civic activists to read laws more attentively and if needed call for help. We are always ready to help you!

Lustration – a word, which again started to be used by political figures. It’s been probably the first time since Orange Revolution. It is promised by candidates for the position of the President for everybody: Tymoshenko, Yanukovich, to the orange ones, the young orange ones – to the old ones, and the latter – to everybody who is against everybody.
Today, a round table meeting took place in Kirovohrad Institute of
Human Development “Ukraina” with the assistance of the department of
Inner Policy and Public Relations of Regional State Administration. The

Ukraine: advantages and disadvantages of the current legislation”.

By its last actions UEFA has confirmed the unconsoling conclusions of Transparency International anti corruption experts. The recent statement of international football organization opened global scale of corruption in big football.
Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) 2009 shows that corruption remains a very serious problem for Ukraine. Annual global research of Transparency International indicates that Ukraine together with the countries of Eastern, South-Eastern Europe and Central Asia is perceived by its population as a highly corrupt state. All these countries have got the score of corruption spread beneath 5 points from the 10 possible (according to the scale, where 0 means total corruption of the state, 10 – practical absence of corruption). This year position of Ukraine in the so called rank of corrupted countries of the world with the score 2.2 points and general tempo of corruption spread in the state indicate the necessity of decisive steps in order to save the country and escape from the corruption abyss.
On the 3rd of November Creative Union “TORO”, Contact group of
Transparency International in Ukraine, sent an open letter to the
Prime-Minister of Ukraine Yuliya Timoshenko, which related to the
non-transparency of using by the government of Ukraine of 50 million
hryvnas allocated in summer of the current year for preventing epidemic
of Californian flue in the state. On the 5th of November, Ministry of
Health of Ukraine created a commission, which will follow the procedure
of distribution of money for overcoming flue epidemic.
Honorable Yuliye Volodymyrivno!
We demand from you, the head of the central organ of executive
authority in Ukraine, in the shortest terms to inform the community of
Ukraine about the use of 50 million hryvnas, which were allocated in
summer of 2009, with the purpose of preventing epidemic of Californian
flue. We remind you, Mrs. Timoshenko, that according to the law of
Ukraine “About Cabinet of Ministers” the government, which you are the
head of, is supposed to perform functions of providing state policy in
health care sphere; it allocated state funds in the amount of 50
million hryvnas in order to prevent spreading in Ukraine of Californian
flue A/H1N1, which is as well known as the swine flue. From the
interview of Mr. Vasyl Knyazevych, Minister of Health of Ukraine,
given by him on the 1st of November, 2009 in the live broadcast of TV
channel “1+1” it came to light that tender procedures on disbursement
of the assigned funds were conducted with the break of the current
legislation of Ukraine and with the clear features of corruptive
actions; as a result Ukraine remained actually unready to fight flue
epidemic...
