Lets hope this committee is independant of the state.. as in some sort of a private organization, that way corruption can really be fought, otherwise we'd be looking at just another shiny name on another building.

Freedom of speech. Freedom of press. Freedom of assembly are effective tools in any fight against corruption. Typical Yanukovych say one thing but do another. The leader of the Party of Corruption (Party of Regions)is Yanukovych. Yanukovych's desire to fight corruption is as genuine as his desire for a fair trial for Tymoshenko.
