Deputy Viktor Chumak explained that the current closed system creates the ground for corruption, “the opportunity for the implementation of fraudulent schemes for the acquisition of real estate and contributes to raiding.”
“The secrecy of information about real estate, which is in state and municipal ownership, makes it possible to create a corrupt market for the rental and purchase of this property behind closed doors,” the parliamentarian said.
His colleague Ruslan Martsinkiv believes that the opening of State Register data “will limit the field of corruption of officials who will no longer be able to hide from their fellow citizens and the media information about the land they purchased, a hut that cannot be bought with an official salary.”
However, unexpectedly, ex-“regional” Oleg Zarubinsky spoke out against the innovation - he said that the law does not bring benefit to citizens, but a threat.
“Today everything is calm in our state, everything is in order, has the law enforcement system reached the European level? So that gangster formations, racketeers, raiders, all sorts of louts, rednecks, excuse me, all sorts of people who, under the pretext of revolutionary and patriotic slogans, bomb ordinary people, bomb government institutions, bomb universities, bomb restaurants, bomb, whatever? Don't you know that we eliminated this situation? No, they weren't liquidated. Therefore, dear colleagues, when opening any registers, we must make ten, twenty safeguards so that this information does not get to honest public organizations, not to honest public activists, so that it does not get to criminals, of whom there are plenty, looters, raiders. And this is a very important issue today,” Zarubinsky said.
As a result, the initiative to open the State Property Register was not supported in the session hall - the Communists did not vote for it in full, and the PR gave only 2 votes.
