Government report, foreign agents and the topic of the person who decided everything
First of the new year and 16thc The fourth session of the People's Assembly of the 6th convocation took place on January 25 in Makhachkala. There are 18 issues on the agenda, where the first and, perhaps, most important is the report of the Government of Dagestan to the People's Assembly of the Republic of Dagestan. According to Speaker of Parliament Khizri Shikhsaidov, the session was attended by a record number of deputies - 89 out of 90. The session was also attended by the Acting Head of Dagestan, Vladimir Vasiliev.
And if earlier this Message was usually called the “Message of the Head of Dagestan,” then this year Vladimir Vasiliev suggested changing the format a little, noting that it would be more correct, since he had only been in his new position for a few months. No sooner said than done. Acting Chairman of the Government of the Republic of Dagestan came to the podium of parliament Abdusamad Gamidov, who for an hour told the assembled deputies about what the government had done in 2017 and what is planned for 2018.
REPORTED FOR THE YEAR
“In the reporting year, the government managed to solve most of the tasks facing it and maintain trends towards sustainable development of the republic. In difficult economic conditions and the financial situation in the country and the republic, the Government of the Republic of Dagestan, together with local governments, territorial divisions of federal bodies, in 2017, systematically built and significantly improved work to ensure positive dynamics of the socio-economic development of Dagestan, developed new solutions and approaches in economic and social policy",- Gamidov said.
Despite the fact that the republic’s indicators over the past year are at the proper level, according to the prime minister, there are a number of problems that Dagestan constantly faces. One of them is the effective use of the property complex of Dagestan.
“At the same time, I would like to note that we were unable to resolve a number of issues regarding the “orphaned” gas and electricity grids, the transfer of the Tarnair treatment facilities into the ownership of Makhachkala, and fulfill budget assignments for the receipt of non-tax revenues into the republican budget, including from the lease of gas networks, complete the liquidation (reorganization) of state unitary enterprises and take measures to improve the efficiency of their activities, document the ownership of state property,”– the Prime Minister of the Government noted and added that he also considers the work on the large-scale implementation of public-private partnerships unsatisfactory.
“THE BUDGET CONTINUES TO BE SOCIAL”
Speaking about the budget, Hamidov noted that it continues to remain socially oriented, and once again reminded those present of the 3.2 billion rubles allocated to Dagestan thanks to Vladimir Vasiliev’s address to the President of Russia Vladimir Putin. These funds were used to pay December salaries, provide social support measures to certain categories of citizens, pay insurance premiums for compulsory health insurance for the non-working population, grants and subventions to municipalities (salaries of municipal employees, payment of utilities. – Note "MI").
Talking about plans for 2018, Hamidov emphasized that the upcoming European Freestyle Wrestling Championship, which will be held in Dagestan, should become a landmark - Russia is being “pushed out” of big-time sports, while these competitions will reveal “Russia’s sporting and organizational potential” to the whole world. . The Prime Minister is confident that the championship will show Dagestan from a positive side to the entire world community.
In the new year, special attention will be paid to education, culture, support for small and medium-sized businesses and work with civil society institutions. The government declares that openness should become the main operating principle for the Dagestani authorities.
In addition, Hamidov reminded those present that there are presidential elections in Russia on March 18 and called on everyone to work harmoniously, “ so that the elections are held at a high organizational level.”

BESIDES SPORTS...
At the end of his report, the acting Prime Minister thanked the deputies for their joint work.
Commenting on the speech of the Chairman of the Government of the Republic of Dagestan, Khizri Shikhsaidov noted that, in addition to sports, it is necessary to support those involved in science and education.
« We must pay attention to the quality of students' knowledge, which, unfortunately, does not always meet the requirements of the state standard. The exam results obtained at times are an inadequate reflection of students' knowledge. 99 students out of 17 thousand gold medalists in Dagestan were unable to enter universities and colleges. This shouldn't happen", says Shikhsaidov.
“THE THEME OF MAN DETERMINES EVERYTHING”
Afterwards, a report on the activities of the Commissioner for the Protection of Human Rights in Dagestan was made by Ummupazil Omarova, which reported on the work carried out over the past year, adding that most often socially vulnerable segments of the population turn to it - disabled people, pensioners, orphans, low-income and large families.
Separately, the issue of releasing Ummupazil Omarova from her position in connection with the transition to a new job was considered. Here Vladimir Vasiliev has already taken the floor.
« I made a proposal, and this was the result of the appeal that Ummupazil Avadzievna has now addressed to the People’s Assembly - about the resignation. Where did I come from? From the fact that in today’s report by the Acting Chairman of the Government, and then by Khizri Isaevich, the topic of education was raised more than once. There is a saying “Education determines destiny.” And I will allow myself to say that the Minister of Education no longer determines the fate of a person, but, by and large, of a people. And those questions that you talked about, Khizri Isaevich, how many and what percentage of gold medalists we have, and the topic of the Unified State Exam. We spoke with Olga Vasilyeva(Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. – Note "MI"), she supports the candidacy of Ummupazil Omarova. Those pressing issues that you spoke about: about whitewashing the economy, about coming out of the shadows, about non-execution of court decisions. Colleagues, by and large this is the level of culture of our society. It may seem paradoxical to some, but in a cultured society the law lies dormant, but in our country it plays the role of morality for those who have forgotten what is possible and what is not. It seems to me that a lawyer, scientist, professor, a person who has worked in this position for a long time, who has proven himself, can serve the people and solve the problems that we talked about today“- said Vladimir Vasiliev and appointed Ummupazil Omarova as Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Republic of Dagestan - Minister of Education and Science of Dagestan.

Along with the Acting Head of the Republic of Dagestan Vladimir Vasilyev and Deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Zaur Askenderov, Acting Minister of Finance of the Republic of Dagestan Yunus Saaduev took part in the session.

Abdusamad Gamidov answered questions from deputies Magomed Sadulayev and Marat Aslanov.
Next, the Chairman of the People's Assembly of the Republic of Dagestan, Khizri Shikhsaidov, spoke. Having noted the general positive dynamics of development of the republic’s economic sectors, at the same time he drew the Government’s attention to some issues that require attention.
“The analysis of the budgetary provision of municipalities over a number of recent years has revealed significant disproportions in the level of socio-economic development of the territories. However, it would be wrong to justify the existing differences in the development and budgetary provision of municipalities only by limited budget capabilities. There is also poor quality and sometimes subjective planning of budget expenditures.
All this obliges the Government to take a calibrated and balanced approach when distributing budget funds to equalize the conditions for the socio-economic development of territories. All factors occurring in a particular municipality must be taken into account, as well as the prospects for the development of municipal territories, while taking into account migration processes.
When distributing budget funds, to ensure openness and transparency, it is necessary to involve public organizations, as well as citizens of the republic,” the speaker of parliament emphasized.
He called on the Government to pay attention to creating more attractive conditions for investors, medium and small businesses, which, unable to withstand numerous checks, go into the “shadow” or are deregistered and transfer their business to other regions.
Own tax and non-tax revenues are growing slowly. According to experts and the Accounts Chamber, budget revenues can be increased by 30 billion rubles using reserves.
The Chairman of Parliament pointed out the existing facts of delayed wages in budgetary institutions. “The government should strictly control the entire process of paying wages - timely and full financing of these expenses, as well as bringing funds to each individual employee,” he noted.
Khizri Shikhsaidov also paid attention to the issues of drug supply to health care institutions, the quality of medical services provided, the problems of small schools, the content and quality of education, and the provision of schools with textbooks.
Regarding the state target programs “Russian Language” and “Languages of the Peoples of Dagestan,” he emphasized that no work had been carried out within the framework of these programs for three years.
Taking into account the negative practice of previous years, he called on the Government to pay attention to the issues of organizing quality summer holidays for children.
In conclusion, Khizri Shikhsaidov proposed that the Government more quickly resolve the identified issues, including optimizing the management structure with the transition to new modern methods of work, using digital technologies, such as effective electronic document management, electronic budget, video conferencing, electronic services for the population through multifunctional centers, which are based on openness, transparency and effectiveness in their work and wished them success in their future work.

Taking into account the wishes and proposals expressed, the session adopted a corresponding resolution on the report.
Ummupazil Omarova made a report on the activities of the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Republic of Dagestan in 2017. She informed the deputies about the main directions of her work over the past period.
Basically, the activities of the Commissioner were based on requests from citizens, on which measures were taken to resolve controversial situations and legal assistance was provided.
In 2017, the Office of the Commissioner received 1,480 complaints. 627 of them required direct intervention, 120 issues were resolved and clarifications were given to citizens on 854 appeals. 63% of all requests are complaints about violation of social rights. Mostly representatives of vulnerable segments of the population seek help: disabled people, pensioners, orphans, low-income and large families.
The Ombudsman drew attention to the fact that most of the complaints concerned violations of housing rights. Last year, 322 orphans received apartments, but there are more than 2,700 people on the waiting list. There are many complaints from those who receive apartments under the program for relocation from dilapidated housing that houses are being built with defects on the outskirts of the city, while the wishes of citizens are not taken into account.
The number of complaints about violations of building codes, poor quality of utilities and registration in this area doubled during the reporting period.
The number of complaints regarding unlawful treatment and violation of citizens’ rights by law enforcement officers and failure to comply with court decisions remained at the 2016 level.
For all applications, appeals were prepared to the relevant authorities, explanations and consultations were provided. In conclusion, Ummupazil Omarova answered questions from First Deputy Chairman of the People's Assembly Saygidahmed Akhmedov and deputy Rafik Aslanbekov.
Then, Deputy Chairman of the People's Assembly Committee on Education, Science, Culture, Youth Affairs, Sports and Tourism Magomed Kurbanov presented the draft law “On Amendments to the Law of the Republic of Dagestan “On Youth Policy in the Republic of Dagestan”.

On Monday, March 5, the annual session of the National People's Congress (NPC) kicked off in the Chinese capital Beijing. According to the Chinese Constitution, it is the highest authority. It consists of 2,980 deputies elected every five years.
The meeting that began today is the first session of the 13th National People's Congress. In voting according to a multi-stage system, 2.2 thousand new deputies were elected, or 75% of their total number.
A little earlier, on March 3, the meeting of the first session of the 13th convocation of the All-China People's Political Consultative Council Committee began. This is an advisory body to the leadership of the People's Republic of China, which includes representatives of the CCP and other Chinese political parties, prominent public figures and representatives of the business community. The two organs are usually collected at the same time. This phenomenon is called "two sessions" in China.
The NPC meets in its entirety once a year, usually in March. In its structure and functions, this body differs from Western parliaments and resembles the Soviet Supreme Council that existed after 1939. The current work on lawmaking is carried out by the Standing Committee of the NPC, while the National People's Congress in its entirety resolves the most important state issues.
The main task of the NPC this year is to officially elect the new Chairman of the People's Republic of China and the Premier of the State Council of China. These posts are expected to remain with the current leaders, Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang.
In addition, the NPC elects deputy leaders of the PRC, approves the composition of the government, the Central Military Council and the Supreme People's Court, and appoints the prosecutor general of the Supreme People's Prosecutor's Office.
As the official Chinese Internet Information Center promises, after the end of the session, “the composition of the Chinese political arena will completely change, and a new political camp will be formed.”
“All the so-called princes, sons of leading party leaders, are removed from leadership. Xi Jinping is eliminating the system of inheritance of political positions,” notes Grachikov.
According to the South China Morning Post, one of the possible reshuffles will occur in the economic bloc. Advisor to the President of the People's Republic of China on economic issues and head of the CPC Central Committee's working group on economics and finance, Liu He, may replace 70-year-old Zhou Xiaochuan as chairman of the People's Bank of China.

As Grachikov emphasizes, even during the time of Deng Xiaoping, a system developed in which the Chairman of the People's Republic of China had virtually no control over the economic bloc of the government. This part of the cabinet of ministers was left to the premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China. However, in the last five years, working groups have been created under the CPC Central Committee, and through such a working group on economics, this area has come under the control of Xi Jinping.
“He rejuvenates the political system, promotes unknown people from the hinterlands to the highest echelons of power, but then it turns out that every second of them once worked with Xi Jinping,” the expert states.
In his opinion, the Chinese leader will try to place people loyal to himself not only in senior positions, but also in secondary ones. The main task is to make the new policy irreversible, overcoming the resistance of that part of the party and state apparatus that intends to follow the inertial scenario, fearing to play a more active role in the international arena.
“Xi Jinping wants to radically rebuild and cleanse the state apparatus,” Grachikov notes. “There are a lot of liberals there, educated in the West, who have taken high positions.”
Changing the Constitution
Another task facing the NPC is changing the Constitution of the People's Republic of China. Only this body has the right to change the fundamental law of the country. Earlier, at the end of February, the Plenum of the CPC Central Committee proposed removing from the Constitution the provision on the maximum term of office of the Chairman of the People's Republic of China (now this post cannot be held for more than two terms in a row). The corresponding vote will take place on March 11.
“There are both objective and subjective reasons here,” explains Grachikov. “This ten-year period was not enough; in the first five years, the manager got used to it, got into the swing of things, started changing something, and then had to leave. Given the old apparatus that he received, he could not implement the changes that he had in mind.”
Therefore, according to the political scientist, any personnel changes in China should be considered comprehensively.
“One cannot think that some narrow group of people close to Xi Jinping are carrying out revolutionary actions. This is an urgent issue arising from the internal life of China,” says the expert.
“Introducing such amendments does not mean at all that the chairman of the state will be able to hold his post for life. Since the introduction of reform and opening up, China has already successfully resolved the issue of legitimate and consistent replacement of the leadership of the Party and the state,” notes the China Internet Information Center.
The Chairman of the PRC is traditionally the Secretary General of the CPC, and Article 36 of the Party Charter directly prohibits holding any party positions for life.
Another proposal from the leadership of the ruling Communist Party of China is to include in the Constitution a mention of “Xi Jinping Thought” on socialism with Chinese characteristics. The current Chinese leader will be the first leader of the country since Mao Zedong to be mentioned in the Constitution with such wording. Previously, corresponding changes had already been made to the Charter of the CPC itself following the results of the 19th Party Congress held in October 2017.

Governance reforms
Also, NPC deputies will have to approve the control law and create a new national body - the State Control Commission. She will oversee the entire state. Previously, these functions were distributed among various departments, including the Ministry of Control of the People's Republic of China and the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
The new body will receive exclusive powers, including those related to arrests of officials, investigations and inspections. In addition, the Commission will not be accountable to the Supreme People's Court, the prosecutor's office, or even the government - the State Council of the People's Republic of China. The only higher authorities are the Chairman of the People's Republic of China and the National People's Congress.
“This is a logical step in the development of a bureaucratic system that strives for order,” says Vasily Kashin. — The previous system was based on the work of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. It was a party body operating on the basis of the party charter, but not prescribed in the country's legislation. This, in my opinion, created an abnormal situation.”
In addition, the Plenum of the CPC Central Committee, which took place the day before, as reported by Xinhua, handed over to the NPC a plan for reform of public administration.
“Transforming government functions, optimizing the parameters of government bodies and expanding their powers is an important mission to deepen the reform of the party and government departments,” the agency notes, without disclosing the specifics of the proposals.
“The reforms that are already being carried out are being consolidated,” Grachikov believes. — Xi Jinping created several leadership groups on security and economics under the Central Committee, which were subordinate to him. It’s just that it went through the party apparatus and took unconstitutional forms, and now through parliament he is legalizing changes that have already happened.”

New goals
“For those who follow the Chinese economy, the “two sessions” will bring the most important news: the report on the government’s work will approve economic development goals for the next five years and, in particular, for 2018,” notes the China Information Center.
“I don’t expect anything new, because medium and long-term goals have been set: building a society of small and large prosperity. These are already super-tasks, by and large,” says Evgeniy Grachikov.
According to the China Information Center, reforms will be aimed at strengthening the real sector of the economy. According to the source, a detailed “timetable” and “road map” for strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights and expanding the service sector are expected to be proposed at “two sessions” this year.
“We should expect perhaps not very specific, but extremely important policy statements at the session regarding the future economic course,” notes Kashin.
Today, March 29, the 20th session of the People's Assembly of the Republic of Dagestan of the sixth convocation took place in Makhachkala. It was opened and moderated by the speaker of the Dagestan parliament, Khizri Shikhsaidov. Acting Head of the Republic of Dagestan Vladimir Vasiliev took part in the session.
Anticipating the consideration of the agenda items, the Speaker of Parliament noted that on March 25 in the city of Kemerovo, as a result of a major fire in the Winter Cherry shopping and entertainment center, a great tragedy occurred that claimed more than sixty human lives, including many children. Yesterday, March 28, mourning was declared in the country. Those present honored the memory of the victims with a minute of silence.
Mahmud Makhmudov spoke from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation faction. He spoke about the results of the elections of the President of the Russian Federation.
Speaking from the A Just Russia faction, Rafik Aslanbekov outlined the problems with the existing infrastructure in the mountainous regions of the republic and proposed options for replenishing the revenue side of the republican budget to resolve these issues.
A member of the United Russia faction, Gamidulakh Magomedov, in his speech touched upon the issues of improving the remuneration system for teaching staff.
The Chairman of the Election Commission of the Republic, Magomed Dibirov, spoke briefly about the presidential elections in Dagestan.
Then the deputies began to consider the issues on the agenda of the session.
The candidacies of justices of the peace for the judicial districts of the republic were approved: Angela Ibrakova (Makhachkala), Magomed Nokhmanov (village of Babayurt, Babayurt district), Magomedrasul Atbanov (village of Urkarakh, Dakhadaevsky district).
At the session, Minister of Internal Affairs Abdurashid Magomedov delivered a report on the activities of the police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Republic of Dagestan for 2017. He told those present about the results of work to strengthen law and order and security in Dagestan in 2017.
He, in particular, focused on the fact that the number of attacks on the lives of law enforcement officers, intentional murders, kidnappings, robberies, and thefts has decreased.
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also pointed to successes in the fight against terrorism. The situation has stabilized, people began to live more calmly. At the same time, the incident in Kizlyar, where women were killed at the hands of a lone terrorist, suggests that it is too early to relax.
The situation with illegal drug and weapons trafficking remains serious. Last year, over 300 guns were seized, Abdurashid Magomedov cited an example. The situation on the roads remains problematic, where 90% of accidents occur due to the fault of drivers.
Then the minister answered questions from deputies Rustam Kurbanov, Amirkhan Amirkhanov, Hamid Askerkhanov, Fikret Radzhabov, Magomed Kurbanov. In their speeches, Vice-Speaker of Parliament Mahmud Makhmudov and deputy Ramazan Mirzaev positively assessed the work of the ministry and the minister personally.
Concluding the discussion, Khizri Shikhsaidov noted: “We recognized the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs over the past period as satisfactory. A lot has been done. Of course, all this is carried out jointly with other administrative bodies, with the FSB, with the prosecutor’s office, with the National Guard, with the Investigative Committee, but the results show that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Dagestan has begun to work more actively in many areas of its activities. I would also like to thank the Minister of the Interior for meeting with each faction, spending a lot of time and answering all the questions that were asked there. The questions were different, just like today. We are concerned about the situation in districts, cities, and in Makhachkala. This is understandable, because these issues concern our voters. Therefore, we would ask you to take into account what was said at the factions and today at the session in your work.”
During the reporting period, the Accounts Chamber carried out 69 control activities, during which budgetary and financial violations were identified for a total amount of 12,221.6 million rubles. 882.5 million rubles of budget funds were reimbursed to budgets of various levels; 209 officials were brought to disciplinary liability, 29 of them were dismissed, other violations were established, among which violations of misuse and ineffective use of budget funds, inflated costs during construction and repair work, and others prevailed, the speaker noted.
He answered questions from Deputy Speaker of Parliament Kamil Davdiev, deputies Murzadin Avezov, Muslim Gindiev, Amirkhan Amirkhanov, Marat Aslanov, Magomed Suleymanov.
In his co-report, Chairman of the Committee on Budget, Finance and Taxes Seifulakh Isakov emphasized that the Accounts Chamber carried out significant work in the past year.

Today, November 21, the Chairman of the Parliament, Khizri Shikhsaidov, held a meeting of the Presidium, at which the date was determined and issues on the agenda of the 14th (November) session of the People's Assembly of the Republic of Dagestan of the sixth convocation were discussed.
The date of the 14th (November) session was set by the Presidium as November 30th. 28 issues have been tentatively included on the agenda.
At the beginning of the meeting, Khizri Shikhsaidov congratulated the Chairman of the Committee on Interethnic Relations, Affairs of Public and Religious Associations Magomedkadi Hasanov on his birthday and presented him with the personalized watch of the Chairman of the People's Assembly.
The session will begin with the traditional parliamentary “warm-up”, at which representatives of the factions will speak. The Speaker of Parliament noted that the issues raised must be relevant and meet the interests of voters. In particular, on the initiative of the parliament, the 2018 budget proposes to provide funds to increase wages for low-paid categories of public sector employees who are not subject to the “May” decrees of the President of the Russian Federation. Deputies must inform their voters about this, he emphasized.
Among the issues that will be presented for the second reading is the draft law “On Amendments to the Constitution of the Republic of Dagestan,” which, in accordance with changes in federal legislation, spells out additional conditions for terminating the powers of a senior official.
In the first reading, two bills will be adopted, which will introduce changes to the Constitution of Dagestan, relating, in particular, to the approval of a candidate for appointment to the position of prosecutor of the republic with the People's Assembly.
In the second reading, it is expected to adopt the draft laws “On Amendments to Article 3 of the Law of the Republic of Dagestan “On Organizational Property Tax” and on the corporate income tax rate for residents of the territory of rapid socio-economic development “Kaspiysk” and “On Amendments to the Law of the Republic Dagestan “On the budget process and interbudgetary relations in the Republic of Dagestan.”
Regarding the latter, the speaker of the Dagestan parliament pointed out the need to take into account the socio-economic situation of cities and regions when distributing budget funds, making this data publicly available and transparent, and compiling a detailed register of objects that will reflect where the funds will be allocated and in what amount.
The draft law “On perpetuating the memory of outstanding figures, honored persons, as well as historical events and memorable dates in the Republic of Dagestan”, initiated by the Chairman of the People’s Assembly Khizri Shikhsaidov, will be presented for the third reading. The bill determines the procedure for assigning the names of outstanding figures or honored persons to state organizations and objects in state ownership on the basis of a positive conclusion of the Commission on perpetuating the memory of such persons, through a referendum and population gatherings.
The main issue on the agenda of the upcoming session is the draft law “On the republican budget of the Republic of Dagestan for 2018 and for the planning period of 2019 and 2020,” which will be presented for the first reading.
As Committee Chairman Seifulah Isakov noted, there was a wide discussion of budget parameters among the leadership of the People's Assembly, in committees and at public hearings with the participation of deputies, representatives of the Government, the Public Chamber, the expert and scientific community, and heads of republican ministries and departments.
As noted, the budget retains its social orientation. During the discussion, significant reserves for its replenishment were identified.
According to the Accounts Chamber, only by increasing the tax base, the revenue side of the budget can be increased by 229 million rubles.
Khizri Shikhsaidov proposed to redistribute the Government's reserve fund and direct it to the development of industry, which is an important engine of the economy. He once again emphasized that all mechanisms for the distribution of budget funds must be transparent. In addition, the policy of providing government guarantees should be revised. The Dagagrokompleks enterprise was given guarantees for 1 billion 600 million, but it was declared bankrupt and external management was introduced, but no one was punished.
Wishes were also expressed to include in the budget funds to pay off debt to the TFOMS.
In the first reading, deputies will also consider the draft law “On the budget of the Territorial Compulsory Health Insurance Fund of the Republic of Dagestan for 2018 and for the planning period of 2019 and 2020.”
Regarding the draft law “On the procedure for the submission by citizens applying for a municipal position in the Republic of Dagestan, the position of the head of the administration of a municipal formation of the Republic of Dagestan under a contract, and persons filling these positions, information on income, expenses, property and obligations of a property nature and the implementation of an audit reliability and completeness of the specified information”, which will be presented for adoption in the first reading, the speaker of parliament noted that the governance structure of the capital of the republic, with its administrative division into three municipal districts, raises many questions. The total number of employees of city and district administrations is more than a thousand people; almost 350 million rubles are spent on maintaining officials, which raises questions. The cumbersome management structure does not contribute to the effective solution of urban problems. In particular, there is intensive development of park areas, which is clearly visible from Lake Ak-Gel, which is filled with earth and plots for construction are distributed, although there should be a park area there.
He instructed the Committee on Legislation, Legality, State Building and Local Self-Government, with the involvement of the expert community, to review the city’s governance structure and, if necessary, make changes to the relevant law.
Clarifying changes will be made to a number of republican laws related to innovations in federal legislation.
At the session it is expected to adopt the Forecast Plan (program) for the privatization of state property of the Republic of Dagestan for 2018 and the main directions of privatization of state property of the Republic of Dagestan for 2019 and 2020.
18 state-owned objects are proposed for privatization in 2018. Expected income from their sale will amount to 110 million rubles.
The Chairman of Parliament, commenting on the privatization plan, noted that it is necessary to calculate in advance whether it is profitable for the state to sell the designated objects. He expressed doubt about their assessment and instructed the Committee on Budget, Finance and Taxes, together with the Committee on Economy, Investment and Entrepreneurship, to carefully consider the objects included in the plan and take control of their privatization.
The session will also adopt a resolution of the People's Assembly of the Republic of Dagestan “On instructions to the Accounts Chamber of the Republic of Dagestan.” It includes 18 events.
As part of the control powers, the session will also consider the issue of the socio-economic situation in the municipal formation “city of Izberbash” (in terms of compliance and implementation of the laws of the Republic of Dagestan).
