Salaries in low-paid branches should be increased as well as the attractiveness of Minsk itself for Belarusians' wallets. It is no secret that many people travel abroad and spend savings there. Sometimes the main reason is unequal competition and only symbolic discounts on goods. The task for the local authorities is to create such conditions so that people would like to spend money in their city.
The President of Belarus expects from the Minsk City Executive Committee a serious struggle against bureaucracy and corruption. Especially it concerns their subsidiary organizations. The head of the KGB reported to Alexander Lukashenko today on the scale of the corruption problem. Valery Vakulchik calls connivance on the part of the city government, which created a fertile environment for corruption, to be one of the main reasons for the current situation.
The Head of State warns that not a single fact of corruption can go unnoticed, and sooner or later the perpetrators will be brought to justice. Alexander Lukashenko instructed to prepare proposals on how to increase the punishment for these crimes, which undermine the authority and cast a shadow over decent employees.
Alexander Lukashenko is dissatisfied with the work of the Minsk City Executive Committee. That was the reason for today's meeting. The President notes that only people who can ensure sustainable economic and social development in Minsk should work in the Committee.
