Arseniy Yatsenyuk calls on coalition to support laws submitted by the coalition Government
Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk appealed to the Parliamentary
coalition, "which has its representatives in the Cabinet of Ministers of
Ukraine: from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc, the People’s Front, the Batkivshchyna, the Radical Party and the Self-Reliance - to
support the laws, those drafted and submitted by the coalition
Government." He announced during An Hour of Questions to the Government in
Parliament on Friday, June 5.
"70% of the laws that are submitted by the Government, formed by the
coalition, unfortunately, are not voted in Parliament," he said.
The Head of Government stressed that in the current plenary week there
hadn’t been voted on eight bills, "which were necessary to reform the
public finance system, to introduce additional measures to combat corruption
and those necessary to ensure implementation of the conditions and requirements
by Ukraine to obtain funds from the World Bank and the International Monetary
Fund".

He also appealed to members of the Parliamentary coalition to support
the position of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine on the need to extend
lustration process. Arseniy Yatsenyuk emphasized that the Government is not just engaged
into implementation of the law on cleansing power "but is the core
[institution] to hold lustration within the country": "Senior Government
officials, Ministers and officials at the level of first Deputy Ministers and
Deputy Ministers undergo the lustration process". He informed that this day under the law on cleansing power there had
been dismissed the police chief of the Kyiv city: "All the law
enforcement agencies of the country and the entire public service system are subjected
to daily inspection and replacement of staff ". "The challenge for the Government now is, despite the fact that
there is significant resistance concerning dismissal of officials,
prosecutors, policemen, law-enforcement officers, to prevent the possibility
of destroying the lustration law", accentuated Arseniy Yatsenyuk. |
