SHKLOV, 9 August (BelTA) — There will be no forgiveness for corruption, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko warned participants of the meeting in Shklov on 9 August, BelTA has learned.
“Men, I will support you, give your medical treatment, feed you. I will do anything. The only thing I will not be able to help you with is if you engage in unsavory ventures. Corruption is an exception. There will be no forgiveness. It is over the limit for me. It's impossible,” the Belarusian leader warned.
“You will never do anything secretly anywhere. Hear me at last. Don't do it. If you produce results, we will always find a bit of money to help you. But stay out of corruption. I'm just asking and warning you,” he said.
“Economic destruction plus the rust of corruption equals war. A terrible business,” the president cautioned. “Wars start with economy. This is why I always remind you of it. We’d better work quietly in a quiet and calm country instead of fighting a war.”
Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed that he demands performance discipline from executives and will continue pushing for it. “I always warn you. I even use such a bad word as repressions. I speak figuratively. This is why let’s focus and enforce discipline from top to the bottom. Tension is created upstairs. You need to transfer it to your subordinates to make everyone work.”
