On September 14, based on the results of a meeting on the socio-economic development of Volyn Oblast by district, due to existing wage arrears in the districts, the heads of Lutsk and Kivertsi District State Administrations may leave their posts. This was stated by the head of the Volyn Oblast State Administration, Volodymyr Bondar, – reported by the correspondent of the Western Information Corporation. \n \n \n \nThe head of the Volyn Oblast State Administration reminded the present heads of District State Administrations about the requirement to eliminate wage arrears, about the corresponding promise of the President, and that the prosecutor's office would hold accountable all those who fail to cope with this. \n \n \n \nIn particular, the wage arrears in Lutsk district amount to 540 thousand hryvnias. The head of the District State Administration, Bohdan Prus, explained that the lion's share of the arrears falls on state research farms, which now have been provided with opportunities to develop, earn profits, and pay off debts. \n \n \n \nVolodymyr Bondar ordered Bohdan Prus to immediately dismiss his deputy. The head of the Oblast State Administration also gave him two months to eliminate the arrears; otherwise, he threatened that he would send a submission to the President regarding the dismissal of Bohdan Prus from the post of head of the Lutsk District State Administration. \n \n \n \nBohdan Prus refused to dismiss his first deputy and left the meeting, slamming the door. \n \n \n \nAfter hearing the head of the Kivertsi District State Administration – the wage arrears in the district are about 230 thousand hryvnias – the head of the Oblast State Administration set a deadline for reducing it by October 1. If this task is not fulfilled, he promised to also dismiss the first deputy head of the District State Administration and send a submission to the President for the dismissal of the head of the Kivertsi District State Administration. \n
