Kyiv budget for 2017 foresees rise in funding for health care, education sectors - Klitschko
The Kyiv draft budget for 2017 provides for a substantial increase in funding for health care and education sectors, the press service of the Kyiv mayor has said.
"Realizing that the state of the health care system is not very satisfactory, we additionally increased funding by UAH 3.8 billion," Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
In addition, extra UAH 2.8 billion will be allocated for education in Kyiv.
"Education of our children is also one of the priorities. We build more kindergartens, schools, raise teachers' wages," Klitschko said.
He also noted Kyiv authorities have the task to prevent formation of queues in kindergartens.
Klitschko expressed hope Kyiv City Council will adopt the Kyiv budget for 2017 by mid-December. The mayor also stressed the current budget was overfulfilled due to the transparency of revenues and the use of funds, as well as thanks to prevention of a number of corruption schemes. In addition, he added revenues to the 2016 budget were raised thanks to the implementation of the Smart City program, as well as holding open tenders and auctions.
