President asks parliament to set up Anti-Corruption Court, cancel e-declaration for activists

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has called on the Verkhovna Rada to begin the consideration of a bill on the Anti-Corruption Court and cancel the requirement for electronic declaration for public activists.

He wrote this on his Facebook page.

"Ahead are months of responsible decisions. What I would ask people's deputies to do immediately is, in strict accordance with all regulatory procedures, to start the consideration of a bill on the Anti-Corruption Court, which I submitted," Poroshenko wrote.

In addition, Poroshenko expects the Verkhovna Rada to support his initiative on the cancelation of electronic declaration for public activists.

The president also expressed confidence that during the current session the parliament would demonstrate its reform potential in the same way as it did last autumn.
