Rubinau: “To tell the truth, I do not remember my MP"
Do higher officials remember the names of their MPs?
The President's spokesman, Pavel Lyohki, has confessed that he cannot remember the name of "his" deputy of Minsk City Council but has named MP in the House of Representatives.
Pavel Lyohki: "I do not remember the name of "my" local deputy in the city council. But I know my MP in the House of Representatives. You know him very well too because he is the head of the International Affairs Committee - Vital Busko".
However, Lyohki cannot think of his candidate's promises now.
Pavel Lyohki: “If he has decided to run for MP again now, I will ask him: you have been an MP for quite a long time - what promises have you redeemed?".
Deputy head of the President's Administration Andrei Tur also remembers "his" MP. Most likely...
Euroradio: “Do you remember the name of the MP elected in your constituency?”
Andrei Tur: “Of course, I do!!”
Euroradio: “What is his name?”
Andrei Tur: “...” (the pause was followed by a busy tone)
And head of the Council of the Republic Anatol Rubinau... does not remember "his" MP!
Anatol Rubinau: “To tell the truth, I do not remember! I was not acquainted with those people but I studied the personal information they had presented. My priority is the fact that such a person should work somewhere. They should other produce something or be teachers, but they should work somewhere. They should know this life - this is essential".
CEC secretary Mikalai Lazavik also knows "his" MP well. It is Victar Karpenka, deputy head of Minsk City Executive Committee. Speaking about Karpenka's pre-election promises, Lazavik claimed: a candidate does not have to promise to help his electors in solving local problems.
That is why he does not think that we should trust those who promise to build a parking lot and provide people with flats. Lazavik is satisfied with "his" MP's work. However, he did not say what had satisfied him.
