why no, the language is mandates the ethic's commission to conduct them. language prosecute voids that upon request the controller shall provide assistance to the commission and we have used that in the past. but a combination of historical practice, i say that the commission has had an audit staff. that the commission used resources with the controller's office in partnership with them and tapped since i believe 2012 or 2014 the first year. the commission tapped the resource of external auditing entity to help. i think with the growing dmanltds that we have in terms of ensure lobby audits and post compliance review for the controller's report and addressing discretionary audits. we have talked about public financing audits this morning. but our discretionary audit function to look with an objective standards and select committee who is are raising and spending more than other candidate would. what are we doing to provide oversight on those activities and provide the public assurance they are complying? that is something we have not been talking about or d

there is a commission of journalistic ethics or something like that. there are 20 points.t. but there is also a regulatory body, for example . there was no such body in england and then the government told the journalists either we will create it or you create it and the journalists quickly scratched the scree. code we also have a code when it is water we wrote back when we created it there in the late 90s at the beginning of zero and in principle things are very simple for us there are 20 paragraphs each there are even 21 countries in principle it is somewhere around 20 points here kurchenko laughed somewhere you know who can hire 12,591 trained people , there were new ones, give them to stuff microphones in their mouths, they will preach, read in warehouses what the owners write to them, i wanted to say slaves, owners, but no , they voluntarily leave, so to speak, from europe for mortgages, mortgages are the main enemy of ukrainian of journalism, where is the problem, a new question, they ruined a ukrainian journalist, a kyivan, no matter who said it, you and i got into

more than a dozen members resigned because they were afraid to undergo integrity checks the commission of the ethics council, which includes international experts, and actually those people in the judiciary who are unscrupulous benefit from them. there is still no high council of justice, because according to the form of this body, no one can give permission to detain a judge, no one can dismiss a judge from office i can ask you two more questions briefly, we have literally a minute, two minutes of time, a little less. and why will the president ever be able to disperse the district administrative court of the city of kyiv, and who could go to the president's office? solve such issues, because i understand for sure that it is not president zelenskyi, they did not go, well, in the president’s office, the person responsible for judicial reform is andrii smirnov. that is, he is an obvious person with whom any advantages can be had regarding the position of the president’s office on this matter, and regarding the district of the administrative court, well, the law on urgent presidential bill on its liqu

there is a commission on ethics, you can go there and let them check it, because i first want to issueut indicativeness. that's what i'm here. i'm here from the place , too, shouted, i'm sorry. yes, this is when they said what needs to be shown, but this is in the part that concerned educational institutions. yes, but here is the same case, in fact, uh, one main task of law enforcement comrades, the expensive ones are in what is not the capture and punishment of the profile prevention is the best, that is, the criminal code exists, the death penalty is also being introduced and the number of crimes that fit under it is immediately reduced. so that next time this bearded one in another city, the owner also thought. e from irkutsk is beautiful, by the way, a magnificent chain of pubs, by the way, and also our homeland. i myself but the irkutsk man created such an irish such brand well done well, you need to put things in order. if there are such rules about the form. so, in my opinion, on february 25 it was necessary to change them, because it was necessary to think that such a situation

qualification commission is still ongoing, however, they managed to see daleko not all applicants can objectively assess themselves for compliance with the criteria of integrity and professional ethicsse when we saw him in the competition for the higher qualification commission of judges , one can only envy this self-confidence. so let's find out why oleksandr vilchynsky has no place in the higher judicial authorities . oleksandr vilchynskyi has been the head of the vinnytsia district administrative court since 2015 for three terms in a row. this violates the legislation on the term of holding an administrative position, which stipulates that the seat of the head of the court can be held for no more than two terms, however, oleksandr vilchynskyi is good at de jure foundation expert stepan berko explains how to circumvent the law, many judges use tricks of maneuvering various tools in order to somehow justify their stay in these positions, in particular, for example , they leave this position early and then claim that they did not meet the deadline, because that is why, because of espano vilchynsky, the situation is the same on the eve of the coming of age on february 2, the emergenc

institute, the christian employers alliance, concerned women for america, eagle forum, ethics and religious liberty commission, the faith and freedom he coalition, the family research council, the family policy alliance, the heritage foundation, the liberty council, lifeline children services, national religious broad casters, the u.s. conference of catholic bishops and the ethics and public policy center have all spoken out and said this bill that is currently on the floor of the senate will damage religious liberty. religious institutions are rising up reading the text of this bill rather than just listening to the debate of this bill and saying there's a problem here. practically what would this mean? practically what could this mean? i would say first and foremost, we don't want anyone to be discriminated against in america, anyone to be discriminated against in america. all individuals should be honored. all individuals should be able to live their lives in freedom in america. but practically this bill puts faith-based child welfare organizations who are operating in accordance with their sincerely held

commission. it was sort of a bribe. this is how they understood if you read letters from this time. it doesn't happen because davis may be in an ethically good way decides of this is inappropriate and he can't possibly serve on the electoral commission once he has been elected to the senate because of state lenders slater in illinois. he declines and is replaced by joseph pew proudly, a republican, who votes with republicans and as a result you get this result of the election of 1876 where he's is going to become president. i want to stress again that this is completely understood to be a partisan issue and that assumption that 1876 worked. that it went well. i mean, some people think that it's the fault of the century. that is also a storyline about the election of 1876. it didn't actually work very well at all. many of you, i'm sure, know the famous story of the compromise of 1877 which is a myth. it did not actually happen. that's the famous idea that haze got the presidency in exchange for ending reconstruction and pulling troops out of the south. lots of reason why this is a myth. one of them being that they were not very many troo
