Now it is more important to ensure the effective work of the Verkhovna Rada than simply holding elections, – Rostyslav Pavlenko

During a full-scale war, the main task of the authorities should not be preparing for elections, but ensuring the effective work of state institutions. The Verkhovna Rada, the president and the government must properly fulfill their duties and act in the interests of Ukrainians. This was emphasized by Rostyslav Pavlenko, a people’s deputy from the European Solidarity faction.

He stated this on his YouTube channel.

According to Pavlenko, discussions about the elections should not distract attention from the problems in the work of the current state authorities. Instead, it is necessary to ensure that the parliament performs its functions more effectively.

“The question is not what kind of elections there will be. Now we need the Rada to exist and work better. This task is much more difficult than just once and that’s it,” the deputy emphasized.

He emphasized that the responsibility for effective public administration lies not only with the parliament, but also with the president and the Cabinet of Ministers.

“The task is for the Verkhovna Rada, the President, and the Cabinet of Ministers to work effectively. And to effectively fulfill their tasks,” Pavlenko noted.

In addition, the MP called on citizens to more actively monitor the activities of the authorities and demand accountability from officials for the decisions they make. According to him, representatives of the authorities should remember that their purpose is to serve society, and not consider themselves its masters.

“Let’s work together and force the ‘servants’ to remember that they called themselves ‘servants of the people’, not masters of life, but ‘servants of the people’,” he said.

According to Pavlenko, it is the ability of state institutions and their accountability to society that should remain a priority in times of war.
