This was reported by the press service of the Committee of Voters of Ukraine.
“March turned out to be a busy month in the work of parliament. During this time, 12 plenary meetings of the Rada were held, at which almost fifty different legislative acts were adopted. Among other things, parliament passed a law that would unblock elections in united communities from different areas. Despite this, as a rule, only 331 people’s deputies out of 423 were at work, and 8 deputies completely missed all meetings of the Rada. This does not contribute to voters’ trust either in such persons or in parliament as a whole,” emphasized the head of the KIU, Alexey Koshel.
It is noted that among the absentee people's deputies are Semyon Semenchenko and Taras Pastukh from Samopomoch, Evgeniy Bakulin from the Opposition Bloc, Vyacheslav Boguslaev from the Will of the People group, as well as non-factional Evgeniy Muraev and Dmitry Yarosh.
Sergei Klyuev and Alexander Onishchenko, who were put on the wanted list in Ukraine, also did not attend the meetings of the Council.
