[quote]Mr Yatsenyuk's own faction in parliament has been at odds with a group loyal to Mr Poroshenko amid growing concern and public discontent over Ukraine's still-rampant levels of corruption. Mr Yatsenyuk in his speech insisted the government does not have the power to prosecute corruption cases.

[quote]“Who prosecutes? Prosecutors do. So who is in charge? The General Prosecutor's office. The president appoints the prosecutor general” Mr Yatsenyuk was quoted as saying[/quote]

I think he's saying that the only people who could investigate government corruption were appointed by the government. Making it potentially ineffective.

The point of Democracy isn't to work well.

It's to work better than the alternatives, which it is achieving.

Unless you've designed a novel system of governance that could improve Ukraine? I invite you to share it.
