MINSK, 12 June (BelTA) – Issues arising out of the redundant legislation array remain topical. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko pointed it out as he met with top officials of the Belarus President Administration on 12 June, BelTA has learned.
According to Aleksandr Lukashenko, the redundant legislation array and parallel regulations still remain a problem.
“It is a huge layer of work. I know what lawmaking is. You need to organize and review what we have created in the last 10, 20 or possibly 30 years and cut off what we don’t need today. Leave only what we need,” the head of state said.
The Belarus President Administration started working on it a long time ago and certain results have already been secured.
“Don’t forget it,” the president stressed. “You have to pay attention to the quality of the work experts do on lawmaking initiatives. We need more precise predictions of the legal impact of the draft regulatory acts submitted by the government and polished by you in the medium term.”
Aleksandr Lukashenko reminded of yet another most important function of the Belarus President Administration: oversight over the fulfillment of written and verbal instructions of the head of state.
“If you don’t control it, if you don’t make sure that the president’s instructions get fulfilled, then the president has nothing to do in the country. His authority will shrink and in the end we may come to a point when the nation thinks it does not need the president at all. But the president is necessary at present. Regardless of whether I or some other responsible person is in charge, the president is needed. But if he makes decisions, then these decisions must be implemented,” the head of state demanded.
“A system of predictive control of the fulfillment of the head of state’s instructions has been established on the whole. But there are questions about the quality and timeliness of the fulfillment of these instructions from time to time,” Aleksandr Lukashenko pointed out.
The president remarked that he personally keeps an eye on many issues. “And once I see the lack of control and development on the part of the [Belarus President] Administration, if I see that practices have not been assimilated, then you will have only yourselves to blame. And don’t accept any pro forma excuses,” the head of state warned. “It seems that you believe that a system of predictive control of the fulfillment of the head of state’s instructions has been established but we need results. Instead of excuses. There are problems with ensuring quality and timely fulfillment of the instructions from time to time.”
