The court prematurely revoked the parliamentary powers of the heads of state administrations in Volyn Oblast, Volodymyr Bondar, and in Ternopil Oblast, Ivan Stoiko. This was stated by the head of the secretariat of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Rules of Procedure and Parliamentary Ethics, Andriy Snihach, according to "Ukrainian News." \n \nAccording to Snihach, the court made this decision on May 11. Snihach did not specify in which court this matter was considered. \n \nSnihach said that regarding the remaining dual-office deputies, in respect of whom Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Lytvyn sent a submission to court for the premature termination of their powers, the courts have not yet ruled. \n \nRecall that President Viktor Yushchenko appointed members of the faction of the bloc of parties "Our Ukraine" in the Rada, Bondar and Stoiko, as governors on February 4. The 36-year-old Bondar was a member of the Rada committee on state construction and local self-government. The 44-year-old Stoiko was a Rada deputy and a member of the "Our Ukraine" faction. \n \nOn April 18, Lytvyn challenged in court the combining of parliamentary powers with another place of work by 21 Rada deputies. \n \nOn March 10, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko stated that all ministers had submitted applications to resign their parliamentary powers, which they had reported to her. \n \nOf the 22 members of the Cabinet of Ministers at the time of appointment, 19 were Rada deputies. At the same time, Tymoshenko resigned her parliamentary powers on the day of her appointment as prime minister. On March 3, the Rada prematurely terminated the parliamentary powers of 11 ministers. At that time, the Rada Committee on Rules of Procedure, Organization of Parliament's Work and Parliamentary Ethics called on deputies who combine their powers with work in executive bodies to decide on their place of work by March 10. \n \nIn early February, Minister of Education and Science Stanislav Nikolayenko announced his intention to combine his post with a Rada deputy's mandate until the law on by-elections in majoritarian districts is amended, which will determine the holding of by-elections in 2005. \n \n
