2,5 years of work and with 315 votes the Rada adopted the anticorruption court draft law on June 7! This is an important step forward in the anticorruption reform! 

You may see our preliminary analysis. As soon as the final text is published, we will immediately inform you should there be any discrepancies. 

However, please, note that the adopted draft law No7440 does not actually establish the anticorruption court, but rather describes it. For the actual launch of the court, according to the Constitution, after prior consultations with the High Council of Justice the President has to submit to the Parliament a short draft law with just one article “The High AnticorruptionCourt is established and based in Kyiv”. This draft law should be submitted to the Parliament and approved as soon as possible.

Finance Minister Danyliuk Is Dismissed

Attacks On Healthcare Ministry Team Intensified

helped to save 40% of budget, primarily allocated for purchase of the medications. Consequently more people received quality treatment.

Suprun's deputy Oleksandr Linchevskyi is put under huge pressure too. Thus, his words about the treatment of people with cancer were torn out of context and manipulated. He said that people with a severe stage of cancer have no chances to survive in Ukraine, they should be treated abroad, while the phrase was cut and communicated to the Ukrainian society as if Linchevskyi meant these people are seriously sick and they will die anyway. This artificially caused an outrage in the society. Deputy Minister was attacked by members of the Poroshenko's bloc, Batkivshchyna, Lyashko's party and the Rada Healthcare Committee, while representatives of the latter two institutions even attended the hearings of the Government to demand Linchevskyi's resignation.

Odesa Activist Stabbed

AntAC Launched A New Project
"Rating Reaper"

This is an instrument of imposing personal political responsibility on Members of Parliament for blocking the reforms or covering up corrupt officials. If an MP bailed a briber, became suspect in the case of the NABU, registered or voted for an anti-reform draft law or did not support lifting parliamentary immunity of a corrupt fellow MP, they will get into this web-site.

The project functions as follows: one can choose an MP or a specific corrupt misconduct and donate any amount of money on sharing the story about it. Using targeted Facebook advertisements, we show users in MP’s constituency the information about their corrupt behavior.

During the first day of operation Ukrainians donated sufficient amount of money to tell the voters about the MP Golubov who bailed Odesa corrupt mayor Trukhanov and the MP Berezenko, who helped to protect from justice several figurants in NABU and PGO cases.
