Liquidation of the post of
President can save money for a state.
CPU faction leader Petro
Simonenko expressed his opinion journalists.
“This year budget provides
for UAH 1.2 milliard for serving the president, and the government proposes to
allot UAH 1.6 milliard for the next year,” the deputy informed.
According to him, the
people of Ukraine should think over where the paid
taxes go – “for serving the President so he can buy airplanes at 350 million or
for serving the people.”
“I think it is time to
think about liquidation of such post as President and president’s Secretariat,
which tries to get plenary powers of the government. It threats the development
of our state,” Simonenko noted.
He believes that everyone
in the Secretariat must realize that he goes there to serve the people, but not
to violate the Constitution.
“Chief-of-Staff initiates
almost every illegal campaign or takes steps which violate the Constitution of
Ukraine and its laws,” CPU leader considers.
