ORSHA, 15 June (BelTA) – Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko criticized the progress in the construction of a new workshop at Orsha Meat Canning Plant as he visited the enterprise on 15 June, BelTA informs.
Having listened to the reports on the development of the enterprise and the prospects of work of the new workshop for slaughtering and processing of swine and cattle, the president asked the assistant to give him his document case. As it turned out, comprehensive information on the construction of this facility was there. In accordance with the current plans, the workshop is expected to be commissioned in November 2021. Although initially it was planned to commission the facility by 1 July 2021. Due to some objective and subjective reasons the construction works have not been completed yet. “You have failed it,” the head of state said. “It means that we need to find a solution: as those who were responsible for this project. They must be personally responsible for the failure to fulfill the instruction.”
Aleksandr Lukashenko asked those who delivered their reports why the construction schedule was not met. A decision was made to appoint a new director of the enterprise. Current acting director general Maksim Bakurov will head Orsha Meat Canning Plant. “It is because you are not to blame for the construction project failure,” the president emphasized.
“It means I advise you to focus on the construction costs (a state-run enterprise is implementing the construction project, but still), especially as far as private and other structures are concerned. Look at every specification. Take any specialists, calculate prices,” the head of state gave a number of instructions to the director of the enterprise.
The governor and Vice Premier Aleksandr Subbotin were instructed to monitor the implementation of administrative procedures, including decisions on tenders. “In simple terms: today you invite all interested parties and make a decision by the end of the day. Don't waste months on it,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed.
