Competent people should manage transport sector

All segments of the transport sector in Ukraine should be managed by competent people and professionals, newly appointed Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan has said.

"Earlier we made many things with a team. I have a desire to continue that process: to make it stable and systemic. Everything that Andriy Pyvovarsky and we as his team were doling, were doing systemically. We should continue this. I think that the staff issue is very important. My mission is to not allow incompetent people to manage the sector," he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

The minister said that his professional experience is enough for this post, although it is impossible to be specialist in all spheres.

"I have experience delegating powers to competent people and my function is to gather a professional team," he said.

Omelyan said that there will be many innovation things in the operation of the ministry both in railway and maritime segments.

"Of course, one of the top priorities is Ukrposhta, its corporatization. I think that in the railway sector, the key event is the selection of the new head: I think that this is a fantastic manager [Wojciech Balczun]. He made large changes in Polish railways. He was the ideologist of these changes. I hope that this experience in Ukraine will be also success," the minister said.
