You're reading: Zelensky introduces new head of Kirovohrad regional administration

During a working trip to the Kirovohrad region, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky introduced the new head of the regional state administration Andriy Nazarenko, the presidential press service reported.

The Head of State warned Nazarenko against repeating the story of the previous head of Kirovohrad regional state administration, with whom law enforcement agencies are currently working.

“I want to say that we are really building a new country today. Honest and transparent, where the law is one for all. And for us there are no untouchables, even if they are people appointed by the President of Ukraine. On the contrary, attention to such people is even greater,” Zelensky said, wishing the new head of Kirovohrad regional administration “to remember this every day at his post.”

He noted that his first priority will be maximum transparency, openness and publicity of the regional authorities to build an effective system of communication with people. “Our task in matters of personnel policy is to use and unlock the potential. We will help open up local businesses and attract large investors to unlock the potential of land, subsoil and production, which remains idle. The time of stagnation in the region must end. We must return to systemic development,” the new head of the regional state administration noted.

He also named improving the people’s perception of the region among the priorities. “The region is tired of the endless waves of negativity. We need to work hard to hear good news from our region every day – news that will make us proud of the success of our children, the feats of our defenders, the success in sports and culture, the opening of new industries and unique events,” Nazarenko said.
