The Rada is dissatisfied with the work of a number of government officials, the fate of one minister has already been decided, according to media
In the Verkhovna Rada, the strongest complaints are about the work of Education Minister Serhiy Shkarlet, Health Minister Maksym Stepanov, Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko, Economy Minister Ihor Petrashko, Infrastructure Minister Vladyslav Kryklii, and Social Policy Minister Maryna Lazebna.
This is reported by the RBC-Ukraine publication, citing its own sources.
At the same time, the prime minister Denys Shmyhal’s positions in the parliament are assessed as fairly secure.
Regarding complaints about Shkarlet, the Servants of the People party believes that he does not actively lobby for the ministry’s interests enough, and also that he actively promotes the interests of higher education to the detriment of other education sectors.
“In the Cabinet of Ministers he is not heard or seen at all,” said one interlocutor.
The main complaint against Maksym Stepanov from the deputies is the poor organization of the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. A source in “Golos” assures that Stepanov’s resignation is allegedly already decided and could happen next week. But “Servants of the People” give more cautious forecasts.
“I think we will talk about the possibility of Stepanov’s resignation after the New Year,” said another interlocutor in the ruling party.
There are also questions about the work of Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko and Economy Minister Ihor Petrashko. It is noted, however, that Marchenko will hardly be touched amid the budgeting process.
It is also unclear whether the discontent with Petrashko will translate into real actions by the parliament. However, there is a possibility that the Ministry of Economic Development could be split, creating a separate Ministry of Agrarian Policy that could go to representatives of the “Dovira” group.
“Petrashko remains in place for now, until they decide how to split the ministry,” a government source confirmed to RBC-Ukraine.
The mass closure of sanatorium boarding schools has become a reason for discontent with Minister Maryna Lazebna, whom the majority MPs oppose.
“She and her team have alienated the deputies. And the deputies are ready to register a resolution on her dismissal,” one deputy said.
Another minister whose work is unsatisfactory is Vladyslav Kryklii. Interlocutors from the ministry and from the faction explain the tension with Kryklii by the minister almost not listening to the committee leadership’s recommendations. In addition, he allegedly had a conflict with a group of deputies close to Ihor Kolomoyskyi.
25 October, Ukrainska Pravda reported that the government intends to dismiss several ministers, including Vladyslav Kryklii. Deputy head of the Office of the President Kyrylo Tymoshenko allegedly proposes appointing the current head of Ukravtodor Oleksandr Kubrakov as infrastructure minister. The Ministry of Infrastructure denied this information.
