MIA to Inspect Service Centers After Investigation
The Ministry of Internal Affairs announced the start of inspections in all separate structural divisions of the Main Service Center. It is planned that the managers of the Main Service Center will be changed. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
On Wednesday, December 4, the Bihus.Info project published a journalistic investigation into the work of the largest Service Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, located in Kyiv at 20 Peremohy St. The journalists noted that the service center is working inefficiently: people have to spend the night under the building to get a ticket for a practical driving test. It is noted that the system for issuing electronic tickets is not working correctly, while these tickets are intercepted by hackers and then resold.
In addition, the Service Center employees use cars worth several tens of thousands of dollars and live in elite residential complexes, as well as own land plots. However, this property is not mentioned in the Service Center employees' declarations and is registered in the names of close relatives or roommates.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs responded to the investigation of Bihus.Info. It is noted that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has asked the National Agency for Corruption Prevention to check the lifestyle of the management and officials of TSC No. 8041 in Kyiv, who appeared in the investigation of Bihus.Info. Also, inspections will soon be held in all separate structural divisions of the Main Service Center.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has created a working group to improve digitalized service delivery processes, headed by Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Leonid Tymchenko. The primary task is to eliminate imperfections in the operation of the electronic queue for receiving services in service centers. In the future, we will continue the course towards full digitalization with the assistance of the Ministry of Digital Transformation
We also previously wrote that the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court seized the real estate of Taras Polienko, Deputy Head of the Main Department of the National Police of Kyiv, as part of a civil lawsuit for confiscation of property filed by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office.
According to the investigation of "Schemes", the official's mother-in-law - Valentina Tkachenko - has officially earned 100 UAH since 1998, and retired in 2014 and currently receives less than three thousand UAH per month. Her husband also receives a similar pension. However, they were registered with a two-story penthouse and two parking spaces in a business-class residential complex in Kyiv. The policeman's wife claims that her mother earned money by selling flowers, and the family also had a Volga, which was equivalent in cost to an apartment in the capital.
