SPECIAL COMMISSION TO BE MONITORING GAGAUZIA POPULAR ASSEMBLY ACTIVITIES

A special commission was formed in Gagauzia to check the activities of the autonomy’s parliament.

According to the regional media, such a decision was adopted after discussions about the activity of Gagauzia Popular Assembly Chairman Vladimir Kyssa. A week ago one of GPA deputies Ilia Uzun introduced in the agenda of plenary sitting the proposal on dismissing the Speaker.

“For me you are the GPA’s worst chairman and the worst person in the world. I ask President Igor Dodon to help us remove this shape-shifter. There are decent people among us who can head the GPA”, Uzun said.

MP Sergiu Cernev also criticized Kyssa, saying that he is a ‘very convenient’ Chairman of GPA.

“Still, I do not demand his dismissal, instead I ask to form a commission and request report on GPA work. We want to know about the won grants, including those for the GPA apparatus”, he demanded.

GPA Deputy Speaker Alexandru Tarnavschi called on colleagues not to make this personal. MP Gheorghii Leiciu supported him.

Another GPA member Sergiu Cimpoes proposed to check the GPA activity.

“We permanently say that it is necessary to check the Gagauzia Executive Committee. But we have to check the GPA also”, Cimpoes said, supporting the creation of the commission.

For MP Ecaterina Jecova it is important not just to organize Speakerţs dismissal, but to appoint a decent person to the post of new GPA chairperson.

The MPs did not discuss candidates to the post of Speaker.

Kyssa agreed to form the commission.

“I have never betrayed anyone. You can form the commission and hold any checks you want. You can even invite Moldova’s Accounts Chamber. I am not against”, he stated.

20 MPs (majority of those present at the sitting) voted for removing from the sitting agenda of the issue on Speaker dismissing and for creating the commission, which will check the activity of the regional parliament.

As Infotag has already reported, Kyssa was running for the GPA in late 2016 from the Democratic Party, which was in power back then. In March 2017 he was elected as GPA Speaker. In July 2019 (after the DP left), Kyssa resigned from the party, stating that cardinal changes have taken place in Moldova and Gagauzia needs to integrate into this new reality.
