During the discussion of the agenda, MP from "Servant of the People" Andriy Vitrenko went to the rostrum and, surrounded by deputies, stated that more than 40 deputies had signed a request to Mayor Klitschko to submit for consideration the issue of early termination of Bondarenko's powers.

"More than 40 deputies have signed a request to the Kyiv City Mayor to put to a vote at the next plenary session the issue of no confidence, early termination of the powers of the Secretary of the Kyiv City Council, Volodymyr Bondarenko," Vitrenko said, and the deputies blocked the rostrum.

Mayor Klitschko stressed that this issue is not on the agenda, which was agreed upon earlier.

As a result, the deputies surrounded Klitschko in the presidium and began to snatch the chairman's remote control from him and stated that they demanded that the issue of Bondarenko's resignation be considered immediately.

Then a short break was announced, after which Klitschko announced that the deputies would gather on April 8 to hold a secret vote on Bondarenko's resignation.

Klitschko had previously stated that Volodymyr Bondarenko has the status of a witness in the case of land fraud.

"And he, as the Secretary of the Kyiv City Council, was elected by the deputies. They can also dismiss him. In accordance with the regulations of the Kyiv City Council and procedures. He is currently suspended from preparing and conducting meetings of the Kyiv City Council," Klitschko said.

Therefore, according to him, he chaired the meeting today as the mayor.

Context

On February 6, NABU and SAPO conducted a large-scale operation called "Clean City", aimed at exposing a criminal organization operating in the Kyiv City Council and involved in land corruption.

NABU exposed a criminal organization in the Kyiv City Council that illegally withdrew land through fictitious structures. 7 people were detained, including high-ranking officials and deputies, and the embezzlement of land plots worth UAH 83.7 million was prevented. NABU also declared former Kyiv City Council deputy Denys Komarnytskyi wanted in the case.

On February 7, the High Anti-Corruption Court sent the Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration, Olena, to custody for two months under guard for two months, and determined a bail of 15 million hryvnias as an alternative. Later, a bail was posted for the Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration, Petro Olenych, who is a suspect in the case of the capital's land.

Details about the case emerged from tapes published by investigative journalists, after which it began to be called accordingly.
