A few days ago, a certain Alexander Onishchenko reported shocking information about corruption in the highest echelons of power in Ukraine, up to the current president Poroshenko, to the KyivPost: deputies and ministers take bribes.
Does this shock you? I don’t think so, just like me.
I am interested in something else. By bringing this information to the court of public opinion, Onishchenko expects, I assume, that the public will not ignore it. The public is us, by the way. It’s me, writing these lines in a café after dinner, and you, reading them somewhere right now at your office, or at home, or maybe on your phone in the subway, or maybe also in a café.
Onishchenko expects us to do something. After all, they are stealing our money. We elected the president, we elected the deputies, they appointed the ministers - these are all people to whom we entrusted to manage our money. They were supposed to spend it on improving our lives with you: repairing roads, building hospitals, protecting and defending us. Instead, they stole it and improved their own lives.
Onishchenko informs us about this. What do we do?
What do you personally do? Nothing.
So far, while we are not doing anything, we will have Onishchenko, Poroshenko, and other Yatsenyuks with us.
