On August 19, the head of the Volyn Regional State Administration, Volodymyr Bondar, confirmed to journalists his intention to make decisive personnel changes: "The first deputy head of the Lutsk District State Administration will be dismissed by the end of the month, I guarantee you that. And I guarantee that if the assigned tasks are not fulfilled, then the people who are directly responsible for fulfilling these tasks will bear the responsibility," the own correspondent of the Western Information Corporation reported on September 20.
Volodymyr Bondar emphasized: "If the assigned tasks are not fulfilled, and the tasks are assigned clearly, then, undoubtedly, this will happen. The head of the Lutsk District State Administration will receive punishment for his behavior, which, from my point of view, is absolutely contrary to the ethics of a civil servant. The only thing is that I can attribute this to a person's inexperience. But this does not relieve him of responsibility.
I don't want us today to think somewhere that it is possible not to fulfill tasks assigned by either the government, or the President, or the leadership of the Regional State Administration. They stem from the urgent problems that exist today in the region. Believe me that all of them are real. Because we, before giving them or punishing someone for not fulfilling tasks, undoubtedly analyze: why, what are the reasons, are there opportunities to fulfill such tasks? And only then are they assigned.
When in the Lutsk district, one of the most economically developed, compared to the beginning of the year, wage arrears increased 5 times, then concrete measures need to be taken here.
The same applies to Kivertsi. In other districts the situation is being resolved. In the region, a restructuring of the existing wage arrears has been carried out, deadlines were set, we are monitoring these deadlines. And in the districts, for the most part, wage arrears are being paid according to schedules."
