The large number of vice premiers will lead to a crisis within the government and will not promote the conduct of reform, Viacheslav Kyrylenko, the MP from the For Ukraine group of the Our Ukraine-People's Self-Defense faction has said.
"This will cause a hidden crisis within the government. Moreover, this is not a way [to conduct] economic reform," Kyrylenko told reporters in Kyiv on Thursday.
According to Kyrylenko, Ukraine’s President Viktor Yanukovych had called for a reduction in expenditures, although the appointment of such a number of vice premiers showed that his words differed from his deeds.
The MP said it is clear that all these vice premiers will be without functional authorities.
According to Kyrylenko, only the first vice premier, as well as the second or the third vice premiers have always a lot of work to do, "but if there is such a great number [of vice premiers] this means state funds will be wasted."
