Verkhovna Rada began collecting signatures for a draft law “On the President of Ukraine”

Signatures are being collected in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for a draft law “On the President of Ukraine”, Deputy Chair of the Verkhovna Rada, Oksana Syroid, said from the parliament rostrum.

Syroid noted that earlier, the parliament had amended 72 laws, which exceeded presidential powers. According to her, this concerns not only the incumbent president, who took over some functions of parliament, but also the previous leaders, UNIAN informs.

“In Ukraine, there is no normal balance of power, there is no normal system of checks and balance. We are starting to collect signatures for the draft law on the President of Ukraine, which is written in no one’s favor and against no one. It is prepared to develop the Ukrainian state and to protect the freedom of every Ukrainian from the arbitrariness of a single person who one day he will take up the president’s office,” Syroid said.

As The Journalist reported, Poroshenko called on Verkhovna Rada to adopt law on Presidential Impeachment.
