Property transfer from the rayon to the municipality level has been almost completed. According to the MinRegion, by the early September over 23 thousand facilities have been transferred to the communal ownership. It was emphasized by Deputy Minister of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine Vyacheslav Nehoda during the meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on the Public Authorities Organisation, Local Self-Government, Regional and Urban Development.

«Most facilities, concerning which there has not been made a decision about transfer to municipalities, are located in the Kharkiv and Chernihiv oblasts, with 5 facilities in each of them. Mostly these are health care establishments. The situation is caused by the destructive stance of certain rayon and local councils. The former ones do not transfer the property, the latter ones do not accept it. This is a law violation. Oblast state administrations where there are such cases must take all legal measures to influence the activity or inactivity of local self-government bodies for the purpose of changing the situation for the better», - emphasized Vyacheslav Nehoda.
