E-declaration shows: State Management of Affairs continues to distribute state dachas to millionaire politicians
The state endows officials with housing while they earn money by renting out their properties
Reported by the ANTI_COR portal, citing the media.
Journalists managed to uncover two dozen current officials-millionaires who use the State Department of Affairs properties at the president, including the recreation complex "Puscha-Voditsya" houses and the recreation base "Concha-Zaspa."
The largest share of state-owned property for use was obtained by former parliamentary speaker and current deputy Volodymyr Lytvyn. According to the published data, the lawmaker rents a house in the Concha-Zaspa recreation complex near Kyiv belonging to the State Administration of Affairs, with total area of 550 sq. m. He also uses a non-residential premises on the same territory of area 422 sq. m. For the state property, Lytvyn paid last year 634 thousand hryvnias.
Not very modest housing from the state is also used by the judge of the Constitutional Court Stanislav Shevchuk. In May 2014, the State Administration of Affairs provided him a house at the Puscha-Voditsa recreation base near Kyiv with a total area of 557 sq. m, for which he paid last year 990 thousand hryvnias. The total salary of the judge and his wife is much lower, but help came from his brother Denys Odd, described in the declaration as a relative by marriage. His income in 2015 year amounted to 1,115 million hryvnias, which he received as "fees and other payments under civil-law agreements" from a non-resident company International Oil and Gas Company LLC.
Fortunate with a home in "Concha-Zaspa" also were another pair of brothers (cousins) — MPs Viktor Baloga and Vasyl Petiovka. At the beginning of 2015, both signed an agreement with the State Administration of Affairs for the rental of two houses, each with an area of nearly 130 sq. m. The Petovka family in Kyiv has two apartments with areas of 183 and 69 sq. m. And the total area of housing for the family across Ukraine exceeds 2000 sq. m. The Baloga family also has an apartment in Kyiv, and the total housing area reaches almost 700 sq. m.
In 2015 year they received their 60 sq. m in Puscha-Vodytsya, and Maxim Martynuk, the first deputy minister of agrarian policy and food of Ukraine. 14 million hryvnias (in equivalent), owned by the young official's family, 10 hectares of land and numerous other assets did not prevent him from taking advantage of the opportunity.
His room of 60 "squares" with 2013 year in "Puscha-Vodytsya" is also held by deputy Anatoliy Matviyenko (uncle of the former head of the State Administration of Affairs Serhiy Berezeniuk). Neither 11 million hryvnias (in equivalent) for his family, nor the house near Kyiv, forced the well-known deputy to renounce the state favor.
