Lukashenko urges faster upgrade in all organizations of Property Management Directorate

MINSK, 7 February (BelTA) – Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko urged the Property Management Directorate of the President of Belarus to speed up the production modernization effort in all the organizations it is in charge of. The head of state gave relevant instructions at a government meeting held on 7 February to discuss efficiency improvement of the Property Management Directorate of the President of Belarus and subordinated organizations, BelTA has learnt.

“We expect higher rate of production modernization from every sector. The current course of events demands it, both the world market and the economy of the country. In fact the process has not even taken its start at these organizations. Today you have neither technologies nor scientific achievements to offer,” Alexander Lukashenko said.

The President believes that upgrade and development projects should not only envisage a new technological level but also promote an increase in wages and income of workers. In his words, it is the most important social goal of modernization. First of all, it pertains to the folk crafts factories, logging producers and agricultural companies that make part of the Property Management Directorate.

The President drew attention to the construction and major repairs of objects: “Here we have an array of drawbacks. Disruptions in the delivery schedules, non-conformance with design-budget documentations, which entails rises in construction costs and deterioration in quality. The money allocated for construction is often used ineffectively. The quality leaves much to be desired.”
