💰🏗A billion-dollar gift to developers: deputies hid scandalous amendments in the “fish law”
Ukrainian communities could lose 3–4 billion hryvnias because of a law that was supposedly meant to develop the fisheries sector. In reality, deputies introduced provisions into it that are extremely profitable for the construction industry, says urbanist Heorhiy Mohylnyi.
Thanks to this law, developers had debts to communities written off. This concerns impact fees that were supposed to go to local budgets for building roads, schools, kindergartens, and utility networks. The law provides for termination of the corresponding obligations after 2020 year, even if the funds were already collected through the courts.
Developers were allowed to finance the development of urban planning documentation. Experts warn of the return of corruption risks and the possibility of chaotic development. At the same time, state and municipal bodies received new opportunities to develop land without detailed territorial plans.
The amendments to the law on fisheries were promoted by MP Hryhoriy Mamka (ex-OPZZh) and Deputy Head of the Servant of the People faction Andriy Motovylets. They were supported by the Agrarian Committee headed by Oleksandr Haydu.
