Igor Klymenko told what reforms await the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the near future
In an interview with “Ukrainian News”, the Minister of Internal Affairs Igor Klymenko stressed that despite the full-scale war, the Ministry of Internal Affairs continues to improve the work of all organs of the department system.
“We definitely do not complete the police reform anyway, but in those areas that are far from the combat zone, we continue to train community police officers. We have been forced to halve the amount of training of such officers, yet this process continues. We also continue to reform the work of service services. We understand that this is not only a problem of speed and quality of service provision, but also a problem of corruption,” said Igor Klymenko.
In particular, the Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs spoke about introducing responsibility for service employees and changing the rules for preparing and passing driving exams.
“Moreover, the Cabinet of Ministers has adopted at least 20 acts regulating the activities of our services. I am sure that in the coming months we will get the full picture of what we have been able to do in the last 7 months. One thing is that our citizens can prepare at home for passing theoretical exams, there is no need to go to driving schools and pay funds. Of course, we are now doing an analysis of the work of all driving schools. And those driving schools that have abused or abused their powers will be closed,” the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine stressed.
Igor Klymenko noted that the exam will be held exclusively on new cars equipped with video and audio fixation systems in order to minimize any outside influence on the results of passing.
“The same applies to theoretical exams. Extraneous interference is almost impossible. But I can say that in parallel we organize control over these processes. In the near future, we will introduce a “hotline” for the work of service services by our divisions. We must clearly understand that the country should be intolerant of any manifestations of corruption, bribery and extortion, so our citizens should also form their culture of attitude to corruption,” said the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
