Members of the "Lutsk European" faction in the Lutsk City Council are outraged by the practice of officials of the Lutsk City Executive Committee disregarding compliance with the law. This especially applies to officials dealing with the housing and communal services block of issues. This was discussed on July 4 at a press conference of the leadership of the public coalition "Lutsk European."
As stated by the head of the public coalition, leader of the "Lutsk European" faction in the Lutsk City Council, Dmytro Moskvych, employees of the housing and communal services department of the Lutsk City Executive Committee disregard not only citizens' appeals to this department but also deputies' inquiries. In addition to violating all possible deadlines for responding to an inquiry, they also submit it in the form of a classic "brush-off."
As stated at the press conference by the coordinator of the public coalition "Lutsk European," Oleksandr Martyniuk, "the vicious circle of circular correspondence must be broken." In his opinion, this should have been done by the prosecutor's office, but it not only fails to perform its functions but also disregards orders of the Prosecutor General's Office. To confirm this thesis, he cited documents that support it. "The city cannot be a 'nature reserve' of old approaches," he added.
Also, according to Dmytro Moskvych, personnel changes in the housing and communal services block of the city executive committee have long been overdue. And if the city mayor does not draw personnel conclusions, then the deputies should do so. Already at the next session of the city council, deputies will initiate the resignation of some officials, in particular those responsible for communal services – the head of the Housing and Communal Services Department, Tetiana Semeniuk, and deputy city mayor Leonid Kyrylcuk.
"If the deputy factions in the city council truly correspond to their names, then there will be enough votes for this," Dmytro Moskvych is convinced. "Of the 45 deputies of the city council, the 'Our Ukraine' faction includes 11 deputies, the 'Batkivshchyna' faction – 10, the 'Lutsk European' faction – 5. Together we are the majority!" he added.
Oleksandr Martyniuk supports the opinion that it is time for city mayor Anton Kryvytskyi to make personnel decisions, and if he does not do so, the initiative will come from the public. At the same time, he does not consider it expedient to initiate the resignation of the city mayor himself, since he is confident that the necessary number of votes in the city council will not be found.
According to Oleksandr Martyniuk, a citywide referendum will not resolve this issue either. According to him, an independent sociological survey shows that about 70% of Lutsk residents currently trust Anton Kryvytskyi. "Plus or minus 5% – these would be the results of such a referendum today," he claims.
