[quote=mosnews]President Yushchenko Abolishes Ukrainian Traffic Police for Corruption

MosNews

President Viktor Yushchenko has given one day for the preparation of a decree abolishing the state traffic police, saying the agency has discredited itself, Interfax reported Monday.

“I warned the ministers, three times, that if traffic cops kept hiding in the bushes with speed cameras, there will be no State Road Patrol Service in this country,” Yushchenko said at a meeting in the Interior Ministry.

“You have discredited this agency. This is why I have made a decision that from now on, there will be no State Road Patrol Service in Ukraine,” the president said.

In February, Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko said that the traffic police department would be abolished and a new state road patrol service would be created instead.

The service now employs 23,000 people.

Opinion polls suggest that Ukrainians see traffic police as one of the most corrupt state agencies, Interfax added.

Yushchenko came to power late last year after the so-called Orange Revolution, in which he criticized the corruption of the pro-Moscow regime of Leonid Kuchma and his successors. [/quote]

Where there's money involved, there will always be corruption - though they don't call it that in Britain...yet.
