Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who is currently conducting a presidential campaign for the March 2019 elections, wants to fight corruption using blockchain, according to a recent Facebook post on Sunday 9 December.
Tymoshenko dedicated his task to the International Anti-Corruption Day, stating that modern Ukraine is plunged into "total corruption". He also explained that his party, the Ukrainian Union "Fatherland", is trying to fight corruption.
The former prime minister mentioned blockchain technology as an effective tool for public administration. According to Tymoshenko, to prevent corruption, state registers should be archived on a blockchain.
Among other measures, he also urged to protect the courts of the country from the influence of politicians, to denounce officials who accept bribes and break monopolies. Tymoshenko has previously defined the blockchain the ideal technology to fight corruption when he presented in a forum in Kiev last June. She explained:
"Blockchain is a perfect anti-corruption technology, proven by international practice, in order to completely eliminate corruption in public records and protect the personal data of each citizen, we must transfer all administrative systems to the blockchain".
Tymoshenko was the prime minister of Ukraine for the first time in 2005, and then again from the end of 2007 to the beginning of 2010. In June 2018, he announced his candidacy to the president of Ukraine in the 2019 elections.
As Cointelegraph reported in August, the Ukrainian Electoral Commission held a decentralized voting pilot using 28 knots on the NEM blockchain. Oleksandr Stelmakh, head of the state register at the Central Electoral Commission of Ukraine, said that "continues[ing] a series of experiments that apply blockchain technology in the sphere of electoral voting ".
The country is also considering the issue of a state-owned digital currency, e-hryvnia, which would be based on a blockchain and linked to the national fiat currency, the hryvnia. Proponents expect national digital currency to increase the rate of non-cash payments and reduce their costs.
