In a Sunday’s
televised address Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk said that the principles is ready to continue its work under five principles, according
to the prime minister’s press service.
According to
Yatsenyuk, the first principle is the lack of political pressure and political
corruption: "Each minister appointed by the coalition, bears overall
responsibility for the area of his work and for the policy, which he defines in
the industry. None of the political figures, none of the businessmen who have
their own interests, have the right to put pressure on a minister and forcing
them to take the decisions that contradict with the minister’s policy and the
Ukrainian interests."
"No more political quotas
in state governing bodies. No political and business interests in the
management of state-owned companies and state banks," he added.
The second principle is a
"zero tolerance toward corruption – both political and economic."
"Any appointment to the
state-owned companies will be carried out exclusively through an independent
nominating committee. So, 60 of the largest state-owned companies will have new
and independent managers. Independent of both the political factions and
parties, and from business groups and business elites," said the prime
minister.
At the same time, he stressed
that "fair and transparent privatization" should start in Ukraine in
2016.
"Odesa Portside Chemical
Plant should be put to privatization, as well as Centrenergo company, and other
energy companies," he said.
"Parliament should pass a
law that allows a strategic investor to purchase state-owned companies in the
open and fair transparent tenders in order to attract foreign investment,
create new jobs, modernize the Ukrainian economy and rid the state of political
influence and a status of feeding mothers for different political parties and
forces," said Yatsenyuk.
The third principle is the
principle of "full transparency of the activity of the officials from
executive authorities, local self-government and the members of parliament of
Ukraine."
"We must overcome the
rule of “law by telephone” and any attempt of shadow arrangements in the
backstage of transparent Ukrainian politics," the head of government
stressed.
For this purpose, according to
Yatsenyuk, the Cabinet has decided on the introduction of a code of ethical
conduct for public servants and is submitting to the Verkhovna Rada of the Code
of the Politician’s Integrity.
"These solutions provide
for mandatory record all meetings and negotiations, politicians and heads of
state power in Ukraine", - he said.
The fourth principle is the
principle of responsibility.
"This means that the
government fulfills its part of the job as the executive branch of power. But
the Ukrainian parliament votes for the laws that are necessary for carrying out
reforms in the country and confides in the government, which it has formed. It
also helps the government to change the country and implement decisions that
are right for Ukraine," said Yatsenyuk.
The fifth principle, he said,
is the principle of separation of authority.
"The President of Ukraine
is the Head of the Ukrainian State. While the Cabinet of Ministers is
responsible before the president," he said.
