1. To ensure timely payment of social obligations – pensions, wages, benefits.
2. To work out together with the PMR Supreme Council the issue of increasing wages for public sector employees and pensions literally from February 1. For the Ministry of Health - from April 1. But this is a separate conversation, I will talk about this later. We must still think about increasing pensions and salaries for public sector workers despite the economic pressure on Pridnestrovie, despite all sorts of actions to strangle Pridnestrovie and its economy. We'll do it. We will increase, but due to Moldova’s actions, not to the extent we would like. The Moldovan authorities must clearly understand who bears the burden of all their restrictions, precisely for the people. Nevertheless, we will increase pensions and salaries, although not to the extent, as I already said, as we would like. This is for obvious reasons.
3. To propose together with Union of Industrialists, Agrarians and Entrepreneurs of Pridnestrovie comprehensive measures to support enterprises affected by the destructive measures of the Republic of Moldova. To make optimal decisions, hold meetings with Union of Industrialists, Agrarians and Entrepreneurs of Pridnestrovie. The Union of Industrialists, Agrarians and Entrepreneurs of Pridnestrovie has proposals, I am familiar with it. I didn’t want to include them here in the message; this requires separate meetings, a separate analysis and a separate dialogue.
4. To develop and implement together with the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources of the PMR a set of measures to create favorable conditions for land use, encourage investment in agriculture, create new jobs, continue the development of the reclamation system and farm production. To ensure food security in the PMR. I have already spoken about this. This is clear. The Government needs to introduce new forms of incentives and use various tools to motivate agricultural producers.
5. To summarize information on sections of public roads that are state-owned, along which there is no or require reconstruction of the street lighting network, and present proposals for completing the reconstruction and installation of street lighting networks along the above roads.
Dear colleagues, I tell you as a former Minister of Internal Affairs: this is not just convenience, this is security. I can give you many examples, the village of Parkany and the village of Karagash, when there was no lighting and there were constant deaths. I remember that in one year, 11 people died in Parkany. This is in the absence of lighting. As soon as the lighting was established, one person died in a year, and then through his own negligence, while drunk. I repeat, this is not just about convenience, it is about the safety of people, about saving their lives. Therefore this work needs to be done, of course.
6. To complete together with the PMR Supreme Council and all interested parties the work on finalizing the provisions of the draft Budget Code of the PMR with the prospect of its introduction into the legal field from January 1, 2025.
7. To develop together with the Ministry of Economic Development of the PMR and the Ministry of Social Protection and Labor of the PMR the design estimates for the phased reconstruction and repair of the former school building in the village of Sukleya to house a mixed-type Republican center for adult citizens with special needs. The reconstruction and repair of the building will be included in the Capital Investment Fund project for 2025.
I will explain what we are talking about and ask the Government and the Ministry of Social Protection to approach this issue with all seriousness and responsibility. We have various schools and boarding schools, but there are people under 18 years of age there. When they reach their 18th birthday, adulthood, these adults, but with disabilities, including physical and mental, return to their families. It’s good when a family can provide for this child, and in fact an adult, and look after him. For example what to do when parents need to go to the hospital or go somewhere for some family matter? What should we do with this child or adult? This is a question, and an open question. When parents die (this is natural), what happens to these people? Where do they go, who knows about them, who controls them, who deals with them? This is a big problem actually. We have such institutions for those who need a closed regime. We are talking about people, let’s say, who are not violent, who do not pose a danger to society. Something needs to be done for them. So the choice fell on the former Sukleya school. It can be converted to accommodate women and men separately, involve them in work, and most importantly, organize their normal stay, sports, work, and study. This must be done. No one will do this for us. This year it is necessary to prepare all the necessary design and estimate documentation and enter the Capital Investment Fund in 2025.
8. To work on the formation of the Capital Investment Fund project for 2025. Let me remind you that this year the vast majority of our objects are transferable. I will talk about them later. We will finish many, some will remain in the carryover balance (units), but further it is necessary to form a Capital Investment Fund for 2025.
9. To consider together with the Ministry of Health of the PMR the issue of organizing a network of industrial pharmacies, develop a list of possible drugs produced, as well as a list of equipment necessary to implement the task in the conditions of foreign policy pressure from the Republic of Moldova. To develop the necessary regulatory framework, ensuring the functioning of a network of industrial pharmacies in Pridnestrovie.
I remind you that we had them, these pharmacies, and then somehow disappeared. Time dictates now, given all these duties and restrictions, that we need to return to this topic and create industrial pharmacies. Not everything can be done, of course. But a lot is possible. The main component will be available to the Pridnestrovian consumer, to citizens. We need to work out the issue of equipment to do this, of course. It's inexpensive. It is necessary to select a network of pharmacies in each city and region and oblige them to start production.
Taking into account the duty campaign on the part of Moldova, I appeal to the Government regarding the constant monitoring of prices on the domestic market in Pridnestrovie. The introduction and increase of duties is an absolutely objective reality. Practice has already shown that some unscrupulous entrepreneurs take advantage of this factor and inflate prices – completely subjectively. We need to create, maybe improve somewhere, mechanisms that will allow us to stop speculation. As soon as a group of goods disappears in the Sheriff chain of stores, some entrepreneurs take advantage of this factor and inflate prices on the market. It is not right. I have always said that Sheriff supermarkets and hypermarkets are precisely a guarantee of the absence of speculation. As soon as this or that position disappears due to export-import restrictions, individual entrepreneurs immediately take advantage of it. Therefore there is separate control for such, of course.
10. Taking into account the existing state, municipal, private and other forms of ownership in the PMR, together with the Supreme Council of the PMR, carry out work, and at the same time create a commission, on the normative regulation of the procedure and rules for the circulation of land.
The next thing. I want to voice it just after the weekend I encountered a problem. Staff in kindergartens and schools suddenly began to be required to refuse food. What's the point? Since Soviet times and then throughout the 33 years of independence of Pridnestrovie, employees of kindergartens and schools have always eaten with the pupils: they wrote applications, paid for food and ate with the children. Some new system appears suddenly. It is completely incomprehensible. As a result of an audit in March, the Accounts Chamber obliged to streamline the issue of such nutrition in the legal field. Nothing complicated, it seems. But the government issues an intricate document, according to which, in order for example, Nyura to eat in kindergarten, it is necessary to hold a tender for her food, then provide some kind of non-cash payments. In general, they became so bureaucratic that as a result, the heads of the Department of Public Education simply gave a recommendation, as I understand it, to their directors, so that people simply refuse and forget about this institution of their nutrition there. Well, how is this so? We have all sorts of inspection bodies and control bodies. We cannot create another body of common sense, so that all decisions of government and administrative bodies are passed through the prism of common sense. The heads of administrations, why are you silent and don’t report to me? It is not right. You see that this is not true, that this irritates people. People are used to coming and eating semolina porridge with their children and working all day, rather than carrying some kind of trays to work. Do you understand?
Therefore it is very simple to cancel this Government decree and return everything as it was. You boasted that you already have electronic payments, parents pay electronically. The Department of Public Education controls in every city and district. A person writes an application, gives it to the manager and pays, as they do for meals for students and children in kindergarten. What do you need to come up with a tender, with limits, and so on? A trifle, of course, but an indicative trifle, an example of how a decision contradicts common sense.
Heads of administrations, your task is to abolish the compulsion to write statements, return the food system to the way it was before. Develop a form: application - nutrition. How do parents do it for their children? Everything is very simple.
Dear leaders, when you discuss, accept, sign certain documents, always think about how this will be applied in practice. Start from this elementary principle. A decision is made, a law, a decree, a decree - one principle: will it simplify people's lives. If it simplifies, it is accepted. If it doesn’t simplify it, you need to think 10 more times about how to make it easier. That's all. Everything is very simple. This is the common sense of applying the legislation of Pridnestrovie: not to harm, but to improve.
