As of April 25, we collected reports of 382 deputies. This is 43.4% of the total number,\u201d said <strong>Oleksandra Skyba<\/strong>, deputy head of the Institute \u201cRespublica\u201d, at a press briefing held at Ukraine Crisis Media Center. The reports were taken from websites of local councils, local media and official requests to all local councils. Several councils said they had not received the reports yet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These deputies represent 31 political parties. Most of them are from \u201cPetro Poroshenko Bloc\u201d, \u201cBatkivshchyna\u201d and \u201cOpposition bloc\u201d. 45 of 117 deputies of \u201cBatkivshchyna\u201d, 17 of 36 deputies of \u201cOleh Lyashko Radical Party\u201d and 22 of 105 deputies of the \u201cOpposition bloc\u201d have reported. \u201cDeputies of the party \u2018Solidarity\u2019 showed the best results: 75 of 149 deputies and also \u2018Samopomich\u2019 \u2013 35 of 77 have reported,\u201d said <strong>Yurii Sereda<\/strong>, lawyer of the Institute \u201cRespublika\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5325 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/inrespublica.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Sasha-YUra.jpg\" alt=\"\u0421\u0430\u0448\u0430 + \u042e\u0440\u0430\" width=\"825\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inrespublica.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Sasha-YUra.jpg 825w, https:\/\/inrespublica.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Sasha-YUra-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inrespublica.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Sasha-YUra-768x372.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The western regions showed the best performance \u2013 an average of 75% of the deputies, central \u2013 35%, northern \u2013 32%, eastern \u2013 31%, southern \u2013 25.5%. As of April 25, the highest reporting \u2013 over 85% \u2013 was in the city councils of Kropyvnytskyi, Yuzhne, Uzhhorod, Rivne, Kamyanets-Podilskyi, Lutsk, and Dobropillia in Donetsk region. Zero reporting was in the city councils of Derhachiv, Zhmerynka, Zaporizhia, Zinkovo and Rubizhne. Only one deputy of Kherson City Council and two from Skadovsk have published their reports. Yurii Sereda reminded that Article 16 of the Law \u201cOn Status of Deputies of Local Councils\u201d obliges them to report on their activities to the voters at least once a year, and the local council \u2013 to set the dates of the reporting.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe report should specify the deputy\u2019s activities in the council and its bodies during the reporting period, his activities in his constituency, problems and tasks set before him, his participation in decision-making by council and its bodies, and monitoring of implementation of these decisions,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The report shall also include information about work with voters. In practice, deputies often publish their reports either in the newspaper or on the council website, and not in the public format, as it would be appropriate. Although deputies must notify about this report 7 days earlier, they often notify the day before. <strong>Oleksandra Skyba<\/strong> stressed that due to the lack of interaction citizens do not understand why they should come to the polling station.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5326\" src=\"http:\/\/inrespublica.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Sasha.jpg\" alt=\"\u0421\u0430\u0448\u0430\" width=\"825\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inrespublica.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Sasha.jpg 825w, https:\/\/inrespublica.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Sasha-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inrespublica.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Sasha-768x372.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If the deputy fails to report, he can be withdrawn. There were such cases in practice. For example, in the village of Synytsia (Bohuslavsky district, Kyiv region), eight of 12 village council deputies were withdrawn, and the village head resigned. \u201cI advise that the voters who are not satisfied with the activities of their deputies, or who see that the deputies do not report on their work in the council and its bodies, should create an initiative group and withdraw the deputies from the local councils pursuant to the law,\u201d added Yurii Sereda.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0In June, activists plan to publish the research of activities of deputies based on the information in their reports and hold meetings on this topic with representatives of communities and authorities. \u201cOne of our proposals is to introduce an order that would regulate to which date the reports to be submitted,\u201d added <strong>Oleksandra Skyba<\/strong>. The second proposal \u2013 to prescribe exactly how the reports should be published.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Source:\u00a0<a
