About a month ago, rumour circulated that Vladimir Derzhavin, a
long term of ally of Igor Kononenko – business partner, friend ,and
parliamentary “enforcer” of President Poroshenko – was to be inserted (by hook
or by crook) within the State Property Fund (a State institution not known for
its integrity) .
The State
Property Fund, together with the Ministry of Economic Development will have
“access” to the dealings with the privatisation of State Owned Enterprises
(SOEs).
It was for
this reason that this blog foretold
far in advance the departure of Aivaras Abromavicius (via
whatever political dark arts necessary) as Minister prior to any privatisation
actually occurring.
An honest man beholding to no established vested
interests simply wouldn’t do. Indeed Mr Kononenko was specifically named
by the former Minister in his resignation speech. (Former Deputy
Prosecutor General Kasko has had few charitable words to say about Mr
Kononenko’s influence within the Prosecutor General’s Office either.)
Mr Kononenko
was (and remains) intent of having “his people” with “hands-on” access to the
process.
Indeed the
State Property Fund intends to sell off 20 large, 50 medium and 380 small SOEs
during 2016 alone. In May, the SPF plans to sell 25% shares in
“Donbassenergo”, “Sumyoblenergo”, and”Odessaoblenergo”. June will see the
sale of 99.6% state-owned shares in Odessa Port Side, and 25% shares
in “DTEK Zakhidenergo”, “DTEK Dniproenergo”, “DTEK Dneprooblenergo” and
“Kyivenergo”. July will see the SPF sell a 46% share
in Cherkassyoblenergo, and October 25% shares in DTEK
Donbassoblenergo are up for sale. A heavily energy orientated list.
Lo, it has
unsurprisingly come to pass that Vladimir Derzhavin, as rumoured a month
ago, has indeed been appointed within the State Property Fund – as Deputy Head
(According to Decree 128).
Will anybody
be surprised if Mr Kononenko, or those closest to him, will end up with more
energy assets by the year end than they have now via questionable methods?
Thus whilst it
may be true that the toxic Ukrainian womb of corruption begins to produce fewer
out-sized oligarchic and minigarch births, this toxic womb remains fertile,
regularly given reproductive seed to produce illegitimate bastard proteges
fathered by the first grotesquely formed oligarchical generation now matured,
in the ever incestuous orgy of patronage.
The necessary
hysterectomy begins when exactly?
