First Deputy Minister of Justice of Ukraine Natalya Sevostyanova said this today at a government meeting, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports with reference to the Government portal.
“To save budget funds, we propose to mothball 13 institutions, filled from 8 to 44%. This is not an efficient use of funds in terms of heating and other energy resources,” she said.
The official noted that according to the calculations of their ministry, if a decision is made this year to mothball penitentiary institutions, then next year the savings will amount to more than UAH 70 million.
