Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman has instructed the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine, the State Audit Service to check the effectiveness in the use of funds allocated for the repair of roads in Ukraine. Identified abuse must be uncompromisingly investigated and the guilty – punished, the Prime Minister emphasized.

"I would like we thoroughly review the amount of work done," said Volodymyr Groysman on Monday during a workshop on the implementation of road works in Ukraine with the participation of Vice Prime Minister Volodymyr Kistion, Head of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine Roman Nasirov, Chief of the State Audit Service of Ukraine Lidia Havrylova.

The Prime Minister pointed out that the Government had begun repair works on Ukrainian roads this year. For carrying out road works has already been allocated UAH 6.5 billion out of the whole sum UAH 19 billion.

"We need to restore roads, and it is very important to use every hryvna, allocated for these purposes, effectively," emphasized the Prime Minister.

Volodymyr Groysman noted that road works - renovation, construction, current repairs of roads – were very often used "for stealing money." "This is unacceptable," he stressed.

The Prime Minister urged the inspectors to be uncompromising and honest in detecting abuses and stressed the need for strict control.

 "I will count on your fast work in order to receive the first result and give quite a clear message to everyone that nobody will be able to hide from us. I deem everyone is able to make objective decisions and do their work conscientiously," pointed out Volodymyr Groysman.
