They wanted to profit from Diia, but antitrust legislation stood in the way, — Bornyakov on joint plans with Fedorov to monetize government services.
“There is such legislation that doesn’t allow it. Well, it’s stupid, by the way. We are effectively a state monopolist, there is antimonopoly legislation. They (AMCU) say, well you are a monopoly, and you do not have the right to set tariffs for your services. If you want, you can only calculate by the cost method, and by the cost method we count civil servants’ salaries per number of services, and it comes out to 3 kopecks.”
According to Oleksandr Bornyakov, the work on monetizing state services was initiated by Mykhailo Fedorov, and Bornyakov later continued it.
“Mykhailo started it, but when he left, I said: let’s do it like we did in business. We first monetize for kopecks, train people that they need to pay for it, let it be one hryvnia, let it be 50 kopecks, but so that the person understands that the service is paid. And that habit is formed. And then we will have, for example, millions of paying customers who constantly pay us for something,” Bornyakov said.
