A feast during a plague: how the leadership of the Vinnytsia Regional Council from Groysman's party luxuriates in budget funds and uses its powers

More money, more subordinates - decentralization from Groysman's party.

After winning the local elections, representatives of Groysman's party took all the key positions in the Vinnytsia Regional Council, they began to live a laid-back life instead of fulfilling their promises to voters, instead of fulfilling their promises to the voters, they began to organize their carefree deputy life.

There was once a regional council with 50 employees executive staff. But this was not enough for Groysman's "strategists" to to implement their "brilliant" plans. The decision to increase the number of employees to 95 was passed through the session of the regional council.

This, of course, entailed an increase in spending on for the maintenance of the bloated bureaucracy of the Vinnytsia Regional Council. If in 2019 this amount did not reach 19.5 million hryvnias, in 2020 it increased to almost UAH 36 million in 2020.

In 2022, including other items, the expenditures of the main the main spending unit of the regional budget increased to almost UAH 115 million.

And this is despite the fact that the basic version of the budget included the amount of 65 million. But at the session, Groysman's majority, with the added almost the same amount.

The year 2022 in terms of the appetites of the Vinnytsia Regional Council leadership turned out to be a truly remarkable year. UAH 39.9 million was allocated to support the activities of libraries. UAH 39.9 million, UAH 58.8 million was spent on the maintenance of all municipal children's and youth sports schools, and UAH medical and social protection of orphans and children deprived of parental UAH 47.1 million was allocated for the medical and social protection of orphans and children deprived of parental care, and UAH 13.8 million for the entire children's service.

Let's not forget that at that time the country was still to overcome the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. And for some reason, it was considered bad form in the Vinnytsia Regional Council with the healthcare sector, the Vinnytsia Regional Council for some reason considered it bad form.

To cling to power despite the war.

The full-scale Russian invasion did not change the the logic of behavior of the Vinnytsia regional council leadership.

Moreover, they continue to cultivate its existence, in fact, parallel authorities in the Vinnytsia region.

Thus, according to the deputy report of the first deputy chairman of the of the Vinnytsia Regional Council Volodymyr Kistion for 2022, he turns out to be in charge of the activities of the Department of Economics, Finance, and Budget of the executive committee of the Vinnytsia Regional Council. And the main task of this department is to support the work of the of the Standing Committee on Economics, Finance and Budget.

Why do we need so many fifth wheels in the public administration cart? in a particular region is a rhetorical question. Especially when the leader of this of this direction is still followed by a trail of suspicions of involvement in corruption.

On the other hand, when the head of the regional council is from Groysman, you are Groysman's first deputy, and most of them are also from your party, this is a great opportunity to directly influence the budget.

Kistion, in fact, openly boasts that he and Groysman's majority have a direct influence on utilities and and medical institutions that are formally owned by the community of the region, through approval of financial plans and control over their implementation.

What happens to those who do not particularly want to obey the dictates of the The USG, recently showed the example of the ex-director of the Center for Infectious Diseases Ihor Matkovsky, who was actually fired by the head of the Vinnytsia Regional Council Vyacheslav Sokolovyi, in order to appoint a person convenient to him.

Instead of conclusions.

All of this is just a small tip of the iceberg of how Groysman's associates have more than settled in well within the walls of the Vinnytsia regional council at the expense of taxpayers.

The unmotivated expansion of the staff, the creation of parallel parallel authorities, and sole decision-making - all of this clearly does not add to the to the situation. And even more so, it is beginning to turn the community of the region away from its recent idols..
