A letter from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, endorsed by First Deputy Minister Serhiy Husarov, has arrived at the address of the head of the Volyn Regional Council, Vasyl Dmytruk. It states that the Ministry's leadership has considered the resolution of the Volyn Regional Council of December 10, 2004, regarding the possibility of Major General of Militia Oleksandr Kmita remaining in the position of head of the Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in the Volyn region. The final decision on this matter will be made at the Ministry's board meeting based on the results of the militia's work in 2004. The regional council will be additionally informed about this. Let me remind you that during the Orange Revolution, at the extraordinary 16th session of the regional council of the fourth convocation. One of the most important issues that the deputies were to consider was the report of Major General of Militia Oleksandr Kmita "On the state of combating crime and protecting public order in 2004." But due to the fact that Mr. Kmita was in Kyiv that day, Lieutenant Colonel Anton Tsisaruk, who performs the duties of the head of the directorate, delivered the report. During the discussion of the issue, Lieutenant Colonel Vyacheslav Chaika spoke. He cited a number of facts of violations of the current legislation on elections by employees of the Volyn militia, primarily by the leadership. The deputies decided to recognize the work of this directorate in Volyn as unsatisfactory and expressed no confidence in its head, Major General Oleksandr Kmita.
