Ministers that violated the law while in office should be punished. If however, one targets only former ministers that do not belong to the current government's parties, one can hardly speak of an independent judicial power.
"Radio Liberty reported that Lutsenko had become the seventh representative of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko's government who would see in the New Year in jail.
Nearly twenty criminal cases have already been opened against the members of the previous Cabinet of Ministers."
One interpretation is that the current government officials will be very careful in what they do, as they can expect a similar treatment once they are out of office. An alternative interpretation, however, is that the current government officials think they will stay in power forever.
