Interior Minister: Reforms will be conducted under operative situation
The law-enforcement officials will also be cut in numbers, but Ihar Shunevich did not specify by how many.
The
Interior Minister did not specify which subdivisions of the law-enforcement
agencies will be cut in numbers first either. He only assured that the reforms
had already started. The Minister said this answering the question during the
hotline in the Soviet Byelorussia editor's office.
Ihar Shunevich: "Any reform, current or future, is aimed
at improvement of our work and will correspond to the challenges and threats
that exist today".
The state leader held a consultative session on reforming the Ministry of the
Internal Affairs on November 15, 2012. During the session, Alyaksandr
Lukashenka stated that the aim of reforms was not "drastic breakage of the
institution, but constructive improvement of its work". He offered to get
rid of "extra" subdivisions in the internal troops, traffic police
and to increase the authority of a district police officer.
