Performance of Belarusian government under fire
MINSK, 10 November (BelTA) – The performance of the Belarusian government is unsatisfactory. Belarusian government officials could try to live in the conditions that most Belarusians live in now, said President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko at the government session held on 10 November to discuss state property management.
The President advised civil servants to get closer to the people to better understand “what a market is, how peasants, workers and the majority of intellectuals live today. Soon shops will indeed become museums for us. Not us but most Belarusians will go to shops only to see what the market economy of Myasnikovich and Rumas looks like,” said Alexander Lukashenko.
The head of state said that the present government is much inferior to the previous one. The President criticized the government for the lack of initiative and widespread red tape practices. “The latest proposals, I don’t know who inspired them, run contrary to the decisions made by the All-Belarusian People’s Congress. It is inadmissible,” warned the head of state.
According to Alexander Lukashenko, if the government is willing to put everything on market rails, to transfer into private ownership, the policy is unacceptable.
Alexander Lukashenko suggested that the government should try and live in the conditions that most Belarusians live in today. “Then you will understand what a pure market is and how we should act in this situation,” the President told the government. “I am more and more inclined to do it,” he added.
The head of state told Prime Minister Mikhail Myasnikovich: “You are an experienced man, there are some swift young guys in the government, but you understand perfectly well that in our situation it was very often necessary and it will be necessary in the future to manually regulate some processes”.
Alexander Lukashenko said he had been thoroughly informed about the latest session of the government. He said the Belarus President Administration will analyze and evaluate public and non-public performance of the government.
In conclusion Alexander Lukashenko underlined that the policy set by the All-Belarusian People’s Assembly and the President must be followed. “The government has been formed by the president for a specific task,” he told those present.
