Groisman: Decentralization provides effective mechanisms for Ukrainian development breakthrough
11.10.2016 17:21 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
As of today, while speaking within a meeting of the Ukrainian Regional Development Council with the participation of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groisman has admitted that a common position of the authorities has provided an opportunity to carry out a decentralization reform in recent years, and to devolve more powers than within the entire independence period, Government Portal reports.
As to the report, Groisman noted that within previous years «not a single step has been made to provide at least 10% of the opportunities for the communities, districts, areas in comparison to what they have today.»
«In fact, this unification has given us chances to shape the position of the Government and Parliament to support initiatives enabling introduction of the decentralization process,» Groisman said.
Groisman stressed that many years of «double-talk and populist rhetoric» had driven the country into a precarious situation, so that it proved necessary to take a lot of difficult decisions that hadn’t been taken for the years of pursuing a non-professional policy.
