Why the incumbent rayon division cannot remain: arguments in figures

While the issue of new rayons has been severely debated in the parliamentary Committee on the State Power and Local Self-Government Arrangement, Regional and Urban Development, it has been calculated how many old rayons are sure to be inefficient if the elections are held on the new territorial basis but with the old rayons in existence.

Thus, figures, facts and common sense testify to the fact that new rayons are necessary. But it is not sufficient for resolution on rayons formation and liquidation (№ 3650) to be passed. Statesmanship stance of the parliament members is also needed as there is too much manipulation, policy, lobbying and self-interests around this issue.
