The Secretariat of the President will appeal to the prosecutor's office to verify the legality of increasing the staff of certain regional councils, reports Delo.

Tomorrow in Kyiv a meeting of President Viktor Yushchenko with heads of regional administrations will take place. One of the main issues at it will be the relations of governors with regional councils. In particular, attempts by certain regional councils to compete for powers with regional administrations will be considered.

Let us recall that at yesterday's conference call of Secretariat head Viktor Baloha with governors, the head of Kyiv Oblast, Vira Ulianchenko, stated that a number of regional councils for this purpose illegally increased their staff several times over.

Baloha instructed that information be collected about such initiatives of regional councils and that an appeal be made to the prosecutor's office for analysis and legal assessment of the activities of regional councils. His deputy Viktor Bondar has been appointed curator of this issue, and within a week must prepare all the materials.

The creation of executive committees by regional councils is envisaged by draft law No. 3207-1 on local self-government reform, which has already been preliminarily approved by the Verkhovna Rada, but currently awaits completion of expertise by the Constitutional Court and has no legal force. According to Ulianchenko, staff increases are taking place in a number of other oblasts as well. "I don't understand why the governors are silent about this," Ulianchenko is indignant.

The heads of Vinnytsia and Lviv oblasts, Oleksandr Dombrovskyi and Petro Oliinyk, claim that the staff of local councils has remained the same. As reported by the head of Kirovohrad Regional Council, Mykola Sukhomlyn, in his regional council the staff increased insignificantly — by seven persons — through the creation of a property management department within the structure of the legislative body. According to the chairman, local deputies adopted a decision to take these powers away from the regional state administration.
