Ukraine is facing three major problems it has to fight: ineffective governance, corruption and populism.
Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman told this to the press after the meeting of the Conciliatory Council of the heads of the parliamentary factions and committees of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Monday, April 11.
"I believe that we have three critical issues able to "ruin" our country from inside. Firstly it is the ineffective governance in the country on the whole, the second is corruption and the third is that crazy populism we face everyday," Groysman said.
Taking these three in consideration, the authorities must ensure holding of reforms, rapid movement towards the European integration, and effectiveness of the fight against corruption "and of the ousting all those using state resources to benefit. This all is of the Coalition's responsibility," the Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada noted.
Thus, we have "to form effective Coalition able to ensure its support to new Government through the adoption of joint laws and through taking effective decisions," Groysman noted.
He also said that at present, Ukraine is open for new opportunities to stabilize the political situation in the country. "It is very important to start working effectively and systemically," he said.
The Chairperson of the Ukrainian Parliament also informed that the written resignation statement of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk had been submitted to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. "I believe that the Prime Minister made a courageous step," he said.
At the same time, the Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada noted he was not eager to occupy the post of the prime minister of Ukraine. "I can take the responsibility to be open, public and do business as effectively as possible," he said adding that if the Coalition suggests that he head the Government, he would demand "reform-oriented people," who had proved to be unbiased and professional, to form the new Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers.
"Only then, in these conditions, quality, non-populist Coalition will allow to establish effective, professional Government, will allow me to take personal responsibility to implement the tasks we are facing," Groysman said.
He said that candidacies able to enter new Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine are currently been discussed.
"The situation is extremely complicated and demands taking tough, serious, state-oriented decisions," said the Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada.
