Reform #4: Require All Politicians to Declare Their Wealth Publicly

Force all politicians and candidates to publish their complete assets online so citizens can see how they become rich on government salaries.

The Problem - Detailed Analysis

Politicians become millionaires while earning modest government salaries, but nobody knows where their wealth comes from. This enables corruption and destroys public trust.

Proposed Solutions - Phased Approach
  • 1Publish all politician assets online within 7 days in searchable format
  • 2Require candidates to declare all assets before they can run for office
  • 3Demand supporting documents like property deeds and bank statements
  • 4Automatically investigate anyone whose wealth increases by 50% in one year
  • 5Have multiple agencies cross-check declarations against tax and bank records
Real World Evidence

Ukraine's digital asset system processes over 1 million declarations annually

93% of countries require cabinet asset disclosure, but only 43% make it public

Digital transparency led to prosecution of 5,131 civil servants for corruption by 2020
