"Dead Kingdom": in Kirov, it was proposed to review the work of the TU

      Today, during a meeting of the Duma, Deputy Alexander Nikulin spoke during the discussion of changes in the work of territorial administrations. He expressed the opinion that changes are being made, but the work of the territorial administrations is not becoming more effective, and he pointed out a serious imbalance in this system. According to the deputy, in the largest district of Kirov, Lenin, there are 211,000 people, while in the smallest, Novovyatka, there are 48,000 people. At the same time, there are 60 and 28 employees working in the local territorial administrations, respectively. "The workload on municipal employees in the Lenin district is twice as much as in Novovyatka, yet they receive the same salary," noted Nikulin. "I believe we need to reconsider the work of the territorial administrations. People should work, not just sit around and hold meetings." The deputy added that he recently held a reception for citizens in the building of the territorial administration and was unpleasantly surprised by what he saw there: "It's sad. It feels like a dead kingdom. There is absolutely no one there. It's unclear what the employees are doing." The head of the administration, Vyacheslav Simakov, responded that early in the morning and in the evening, the employees of the territorial administration deal with paperwork, and the rest of the time they monitor the assigned territory—checking the condition of yards, roofs, and other matters. Nikulin countered that if that were the case, there wouldn't be any problems with landscaping in Kirov. "Four administrative protocols were drawn up for the entire winter period!" he exclaimed. "I believe there is a complete disaster in landscaping." Simakov did not dispute this. As for the uneven workload of the employees of the territorial administration, he promised to look into it.
