Lytvyn was recommended to file a lawsuit against dual-office holders

The Rules Committee of the Verkhovna Rada recommended that Volodymyr Lytvyn appeal to the Kyiv Court of Appeals with a demand to adopt a decision on the termination of parliamentary powers of dual-office deputies. This was stated today at a plenary session by committee chairman Valentyn Matvieiev, reports a «proUA» correspondent.

The parliament speaker was recommended to appeal to the Kyiv Court of Appeals within 10 days. Matvieiev emphasized that as of today, 25 people's deputies are combining their work in parliament with work in executive bodies. In particular, according to him, "these are 7 ministers - Davyd Zhvaniia, Stanislav Nikolaienko, Viktor Pynzenyk, Mykola Polishchuk, Borys Tarasiuk and Yevhen Chervonenko."

According to information available to Matvieiev, a statement from Chervonenko on the termination of parliamentary powers has been received by the VRU, "however, it has not yet reached the Rules Committee." In addition, according to the speaker, a number of people's deputies are combining their work with work in regional state administrations. These include, in particular, the governor of Zaporizhzhia Oblast - Yurii Artemenko, of Chernihiv Oblast - Vladyslav Optroshchenko, of Zakarpattia Oblast - Viktor Baloha, of Volyn Oblast - Volodymyr Bondar, of Poltava Oblast - Stepan Bulba, of Zhytomyr Oblast - Pavlo Zhybrivskyi, of Kyiv Oblast - Yevhen Zhovtiak, of the city of Sevastopol - Serhii Ivanov, of Lviv Oblast - Petro Oliinyk, of Ternopil Oblast - Ivan Stoiko, of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast - Roman Tkach, of Odesa Oblast - Vasyl Sushko. He emphasized that of the above-mentioned persons, 10 people's deputies were elected to parliament in majoritarian districts. In addition, Petro Poroshenko, Oleksandr Turchynov, Taras Stetskiv and Oleksii Ivchenko are combining parliamentary work with work in executive bodies.

According to Matvieiev, the committee received a letter from Hryniv, in which he claims that he is performing the duties of director of the national institute for strategic studies on a voluntary basis.

Matvieiev recalled that back in early March the committee sent letters to all people's deputies holding dual offices, in which it asked them to decide on their further activities.

According to Matvieiev, no response has been received by the Rules Committee from any people's deputy except Hryniv. In this connection, the committee recommended that the speaker appeal to the Kyiv Court of Appeals.
