Transnistrian draft laws likely to undergo anti-corruption expertise

The draft laws worked out by the Tiraspol legislature may undergo anti-corruption expertise. Speaker Yevgeny Shevchuk put forward this idea, Info-Prim Neo quotes Tiraspol's official news agency “Olvia-press” as reporting. Shevchuk proposes modifications to the regulation of the Supreme Soviet (parliament) so that the committees should be obliged to check their drafts in terms of corruption. The analysis will be applied in case a draft pursues to define the powers of the central or local authorities of Transnistria. The author of the idea took as a guide the practice of the Russian parliament. The initiative has been debated by the committee responsible for the regulation of the parliament. The parliamentarians said the expertise is necessary to prevent provisions that may lead to power abuse, to severe violations of the citizens' rights and freedoms. The committee has recommended the Soviet to pass the amendments to the regulation in the first reading.
