Groysman wants amendments to constitution to complete decentralization reform

Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has stressed the need to unite for the completion of decentralization reform by introducing amendments to the Constitution of Ukraine.

"We need to mobilize to complete the reform of local self-government, including at the level of the constitution. I think that some time has passed and the constitution, which was amended at the very beginning, can be improved already, because for these 3-4 years we have already worked out our own experience and can make the legislation more perfect. I think that we have to work on it," he told Channel 5 television on Monday, June 4.

Groysman stressed the need to abolish dualism and uncertainty of powers between the institutions of government, which, in turn, should improve the efficiency of work.

"It is very important that in this constitution there remains an appropriate level of ensuring the powers of local self-government, and it is necessary to exercise control functions," he added.

As reported, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko insists on the relevance of constitutional changes on decentralization.
