Yatseniuk slams draft national budget for 2011

Leader of the Front for Change Party Arseniy Yatseniuk has criticized the draft national budget for 2011.

Yatseniuk said that according to the draft national budget for 2011, the medical treatment of one member of the government would cost the country the sum foreseen for medical treatment for 4,026 Ukrainian citizens, the press service of Front for Change reported.

According to Yatseniuk, the draft national budget for 2011 disproves statements made by representatives of the government that administrative reform was aimed at reducing expenditures on the maintenance of state agencies.

"Expenditures on the president of Ukraine and the state affairs department in 2009 totaled Hr 817 million, in 2010 – Hr 947 million. After this [administrative] 'reform' Hr, 1.344 billion is foreseen on the maintenance of the president and his administration… - this is twice as much as a year ago! The Prosecutor General's Office: in 2009 got Hr 900 million, in 2010 – Hr 1.200 billion, and in 2011 it is to get Hr 2.2 billion," Yatseniuk said.

Medical treatment for VIPs
Funds allocated towards the medical treatment of 1 deputy = funds spent on treating 5130 Ukrainains

It would be less expensive to send them to Europe for their face lifts, hair transplants and tummy tucks. Shame on them. My relative was in hospital there with congestive heart failure. She could barely get treatment. I believe if she was in almost any other country she probably would be alive today.

p.s. Funny how a fireman doesn't want to be seen as corrupt. I know people here who are working for the fire department and no way in a million years could they acquire that amount of money.
