The document provides for allowing government officials to return to the Verkhovna Rada, reports “Economic News”.\n \nAccording to the draft refined by Justice Minister Serhiy Holovaty, a resigned minister will have the right to return to parliament if he was a people's deputy before leaving for the executive branch. According to Mr. Holovaty, a people's deputy appointed to the post of minister will only need to submit an application for the early suspension of his parliamentary powers for the period of his work in the government. “In the event of resignation from a government post, he can return to the duties of a deputy,” explained the country's chief lawyer. \n \nInstead, experts call S. Holovaty's proposal destructive and predict the failure of the bill. “Holovaty's proposal is dangerous. The share of responsibility of ministers under such a model will be low. Cabinet members, knowing about the possibility at any moment of regaining their parliamentary mandate, and with it immunity, will stop fearing punishment for administrative or financial violations they commit,” believes political scientist Dmytro Vydrin. In turn, people's deputy Viktor Musiyaka says that the government cannot write laws about itself. “The maximum that Holovaty can allow himself is to submit government proposals as part of deputies' initiatives,” believes the people's representative. \n
A rear for ministers. Tomorrow the government intends to consider the draft law 'On the Cabinet of Ministers'.
