Increasing the salaries of MPs will not be a deterrent to corruption

21/08/2019 16:27

There are three things to be done to prevent corruption among the MPs of “Servants of the people”: ideology, control over the expenses of the people’s deputies, and rapid prosecution in case of their corrupt actions, said Mykola Katerynchuk on the air of NASH.

We did not see any slogans on raising salaries in the election program “Servants of the People”! So what can we talk about? I believe that the salaries of MPs should be tied to the increase in pensions, to the subsistence rate. And corruption risks for MPs in an oligarchic country cannot be completely overcome. If an oligarch can pay a million per fraction for a vote on a bill, then what safeguards are we talking about? Look at the Radical Party, which came to parliament as poor as a “church mouse” and ends up with millions. It is necessary to fight the oligarchic system of power”, emphasized Mykola Katerynchuk.
