The Kyiv authorities have initiated changes to the procedure for official trips abroad. From now on, all trips of representatives of local governments and the Kyiv City State Administration will be subject to mandatory approval by the Kyiv Defense Council. In addition, decisions will be made on financing trips.
This was reported by the head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, Timur Tkachenko.
Kyiv city authorities are considering changing the procedure for business trips abroad for officials. It is proposed to introduce a system for approving trips through the Kyiv Defense Council. As explained by the head of the Kyiv City Military Administration (KMMA), Timur Tkachenko, currently, trips by employees of the KMMA and local governments do not require approval from the Defense Council, which may lead to improper spending of community funds.
“All business trips are financed from the Kyiv budget, so each trip must be justified and necessary,” Tkachenko emphasized.
Each case of official business trips will be considered individually, and it will also be proposed to involve the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Police to monitor such official trips.
This approach is successfully used by military administrations in other regions of Ukraine, which was taken as an example for the capital.
In addition, the Kyiv Defense Council will also consider changes in the operating mode of public transport during an air raid, as well as measures to eliminate damaged cars on the city streets after shelling.
