PlayCity got a new acting head: will there be an open competition for the agency’s leader?
🔹The Cabinet temporarily appointed Oleksii Tomashuk as acting head of the state agency PlayCity after the dismissal of Hennadii Novikov. Previously, Tomashuk was responsible for digital transformation at the ministry.
🔹Government order No.848-r dated 26 August stipulates that he will perform the duties until a permanent head of the agency is appointed.
🔹Currently the law does not require the government to hold a competition — Novikov confirmed this. At the same time, the situation may change: the Rada’s Finance Committee recommended adopting as a basis the revised draft law No.15432-d, which provides for competitive selection of the head of PlayCity.
🔹According to Danylo Hetmantsev, everything will depend on how quickly parliament adopts the law. Yaroslava Zhelezniak said that the permanent head should be chosen only after the law comes into force, otherwise the competition would be “a sham.” Andrii Motovilovets holds the same position: until the law is changed, the government can appoint only an acting head.
🔹So for now Tomashuk heads PlayCity temporarily, and the question of a full competition depends on how quickly the draft law moves through parliament.
