Nasirov failed all of the prime minister's instructions - Marushevska
More than two months have passed since the visit of the Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman to Odesa. Therefore it's time to tally some results of the decisions announced by the prime minister on the 17-th of May.
Frames: Roman Nasirov not only failed to carry out the prime minister's directives on personnel matters. The head of the SFS decided to usurp the ability to appoint officials at the Odesa port customs. He illegally created a selection commission for appointments at the customs, which included SFS insiders and no representative of the Odesa port. Similarly illegally he prohibited us from initiating disciplinary proceedings against post chiefs, thereby blocking the ability to dismiss employees suspected of corruption. I hope he will answer in court for such decisions.
Among all staffing issues, Roman Nasirov only recalled to Kyiv the deputy Morgun, whom he had sent, against whom the public protested. And also the SFS, at our suggestion, approved the head of the Infrastructure Department.
Construction: the general contractor and the Administration of Seaports of Ukraine, to put it mildly, are not rushing to complete the reconstruction of the Marine Station. In June–July, two meetings on construction chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Volodymyr Kisillon took place. At the last meeting the general contractor stated that it would need at least eight more months to arrange the building facade. The question of where these specialists were earlier is rhetorical. Completion of internal works is planned for August.
Software implementation: there is no clear answer today at the central level regarding software. UNCTAD representatives presented the ASYCUDA system at the Ministry of Finance. SFS and Finance Ministry employees had the opportunity to get answers to all questions about the program: integration with existing systems in Ukraine, risk profiles, etc. In this direction today there is nothing but discussion. Nine months criticizing the UNCTAD system, officials do not propose concrete enhancement options for IT, and more importantly, there are no real steps toward process automation. All this only prolongs the process and plays into the hands of corrupt officials who are not interested in reforming the country.
Resolution: under the instruction of Volodymyr Groysman, we developed a draft Resolution that will regulate the activity of the customs post "Open Customs Space." The draft is under consideration at the Ministry of Finance. I hope there will be no delay in signing the Resolution.
Warnings: the prime minister of Ukraine’s instruction to revoke all warnings announced to me by the head of the SFS, Roman Nasirov, was not carried out. Instead he recently sent me a fourth warning. The new warning consolidates and duplicates the previous three warnings.
We have reached a moment when, for the continuation of the project, decisions at the central level are urgently needed. However Roman Nasirov has failed all of the prime minister's instructions. This indicates either a total management crisis or open sabotage. Yet this is not a reason to stop. Only public pressure and media support compel officials to act and not hinder reforms. Ukrainian society has repeatedly proven that it can win in the fight against corruption.
