During today’s session, Kyiv City Council deputies will again initiate the removal from office of the head of the permanent commission on architecture, urban planning, and land relations. This is reported by Glavkom, citing a statement by Kyiv City Council deputy Dmytro Bilorotse rtsovets.
According to the deputy, the question of the chair’s resignation arose due to the official’s discrediting in a corruption case from a year and a half ago.
“Perhaps today Kyiv City Council will finally have the will to remove the head of the Land Commission, who discredited himself more than a year and a half ago in the ‘Clean City’ case—bribes for land allotment. Victoria Ptashnyk and I will again initiate our corresponding decision,” noted Bilorotserkovets.
The deputy emphasized that for the decision to be made, it is necessary to “reject land corruption in the name of Komarnitsky,” and expressed hope that the initiative will be supported by the mayor Vitali Klitschko and the UDAR faction.
It should be noted that the deputy did not name the official’s surname, but on the Kyiv City Council’s official site, the head of the permanent commission on architecture, urban planning, and land relations is listed as Mykhailo Terentyev.
As a reminder, today the Kyiv City Council is set to hold a plenary session, on the agenda of which are more than 400 items, with a significant portion specifically concerning land relations and urban planning.
As Glavkom wrote, 6 in February the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-C corruption Prosecutor’s Office announced a large operation “Clean City,” during which a criminal organization involved in land corruption in the Kyiv City Council was uncovered. Several members of the group were arrested, including the deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration, Petro Olenych; the head of the Kyiv City Council’s permanent commission on architecture, urban planning, and land relations, Mykhailo Terentyev; and Kyiv City Council deputy from Batkivshchyna ElenaMarchenko.
13 in March, at a Kyiv City Hall meeting, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said that the head of the land commission, Mykhailo Terentyev, wrote a resignation letter from the post of director of the Engineering Center municipal enterprise. In addition, the UDAR party faction is withdrawing him from the Kyiv City Council.
18 in March, according to media reports, those who were detained as part of the NABU operation “Clean City” were released on bail. In particular, for Terentyev nearly 20 million UAH was deposited.
In other words, the head of the land commission, Mykhailo Terentyev, who was charged in the Komarnytsky tapes case, wrote a statement to leave the UDAR Vitalii Klitsko faction in Kyiv City Council and to resign from the post of director of the municipal enterprise Engineering Center.
