Ban Private Patronage of Public Power

GREEN WHITE GO MANIFESTO — 2026.10.01 · CANONICAL THREE-SENTENCE UNIT

Substantial private gifts, hidden or undisclosed loans and patron financing that create private financial dependence around senior public office should be prohibited under clear law. The Presidency should face the strictest personal rule because legitimate official support is already publicly provided.

Individuals and companies should not directly donate buildings, vehicles, materiel, equipment or equivalent operational support to law-enforcement, prosecutorial or judicial institutions. Institutions exercising coercive, prosecutorial and adjudicative public power should be publicly financed rather than dependent on private patrons.

Exact thresholds, legitimate exceptions, disclosure duties and any cooling-off rules belong in later law and the relevant policy papers.

Why it sits here

A patron can create influence without an obvious bribe. The rule therefore addresses both private support for officials and private sponsorship of integrity institutions.

EVIDENCE

Evidence and limits

Disclosure, audit and fiscal control must be assessed separately. Transparency is not a guarantee of savings, and seeing a financial trail is not authority to spend or seize funds.

The proposal remains distinct from current law and from evidence for individual components.
