This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine.
The report notes that Veckagans held the positions of member of the board, vice president of the Latvian Shipping Company, member of the board of the largest port terminal for handling bulk and general cargo in the Baltic countries Rigas Centralais Terminals, chairman of the board of Riga Container Terminal LLC.
As Minister of Infrastructure Vladmiir Omelyan stated, the change of leadership at USPA is the first step in a large-scale reform of the maritime industry. The structure and personnel of the enterprise will also be optimized.
According to Omelyan, now the USPA “remains a model of inefficiency, corruption and abuse.”
The minister also said that the previous heads of the department wrote out bonuses for December in the amount of 700 thousand hryvnia to 1,5 million hryvnia per person.
“And these are only official awards. One can only imagine the scale of abuses at a state-owned enterprise,” Omelyan emphasized.
Let us recall that in October 2016, Pole Slawomir Nowak headed Ukravtodor and has already received Ukrainian citizenship. Another Pole, Wojciech Balczun, has been leading Ukrzaliznytsia since April last year.
