MINSK, 14 August (BelTA) – Heads of district governments must deliver measurable results and treat people fairly, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said while approving new appointments in seven districts and one district of Grodno, BelTA has learned.
The head of state inquired in detail with the officials about the state of affairs in their respective districts. The discussion covered agriculture, personnel availability, work discipline, and other aspects of work of local authorities.
“Listen to me, guys, make sure that people are treated fairly. Take a good look at who you’ll be working with. Be kind to people,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. The president stressed that local personnel matters must be handled carefully. One shouldn’t make rash decisions or act recklessly.
The head of state also reminded that district executive committee heads are assigned the poorest-performing farms in their districts – and they are personally responsible for their development. “As Dmitry Nikolayevich [Krutoi, Head of the Belarus President Administration] has told me, we’re now pushing hard in this direction. Heads of district administrations don’t feel very comfortable when we assign the worst-performing farms to them. Listen, men, you cannot go on this way. You need to run the district by demonstrating tangible results. So decide which farm you’ll oversee and assist,” said Aleksandr Lukashenko.

Speaking about agriculture, the head of state emphasized that harvesting work should be taken up a notch. “There’s no time for slow starts. Especially since you’re mostly agricultural specialists,” Aleksandr Lukashenko addressed those present. “The harvest campaign must continue - particularly in Vitebsk Oblast. I won’t say ‘finish harvesting’ as you need to go on with it. You are only halfway through.”
The president wished the officials success and reminded them they’re essentially on the front lines.
