The head of state asked the executives about the state of affairs in the districts in detail. The conversation touched upon agriculture, personnel shortage, performance discipline, and other aspects of work of municipal authorities.

Addressing Vladimir Senchuk, Aleksandr Lukashenko wondered why he is moving from the Brest District Executive Committee to the Kamenets District Executive Committee. “How do you explain this shuffle? We have always believed that an executive committee in the country’s capital or an oblast capital is slightly higher and more prestigious. And you’ve decided to work in the Kamenets District Executive Committee,” the president clarified.

Vladimir Senchuk explained he would like to use the experience of working in Brest for the sake of developing the economy of Kamenets District among other things. In his words, Kamenets District has a rather well-developed agribusiness complex. Apart from that, the region has a rich tourism potential that can be developed.

Since the president authorized the appointment of heads of several districts in Vitebsk Oblast, he was interested in learning the state of affairs in the region and what problems are the most pressing ones from the point of view of the municipal administrators. According to the heads of the district administrations, there are certain shortcomings in personnel management and performance discipline.

The conversation also touched upon the availability of machines and vehicles for agricultural enterprises in the districts. Agricultural enterprises often have good modern harvesters but they sometimes lack the specialists that can drive them. This is why Aleksandr Lukashenko drew attention of the heads of the district administrations to the need to personally know good specialists, who can be employed to drive the vehicles and machines during harvesting operations.
