Andrey Vavrysh
Andriy Vavrysh, Deputy Director of the Kyiv City State Administration's Department of Urban Development and Architecture, is hindering efforts to establish order in the area of kiosk placement.
The Head of the Presidential Administration, Borys Lozhkin, was told that as long as Andriy Vavrysh, the notorious corrupt deputy director of the Kyiv City State Administration's Department of Urban Development and Architecture, who narrowly escaped lustration, remains in office, order in the kiosk industry will never be restored. On November 17, 11 leaders of Kyiv kiosk owners' associations signed a letter demanding that this information be conveyed to the President of Ukraine so that he can make the appropriate personnel decision.
LETTER
The signatories explained to Lozhkin that one of the reasons for the long-standing mutual misunderstanding between the capital's authorities and the business community is the reluctance to engage in dialogue, and even open opposition to it, on the part of certain Kyiv City State Administration officials, who systematically deceive its leadership by distorting the real state of affairs.
Because of this, they say, public hearings regarding the placement of street vending facilities (vehicles, kiosks, and small architectural forms), which, on the instructions of the Kyiv City State Administration, are being held in all districts of the capital from November 3 to 20, will also lead to nothing.
"The capital's entrepreneurs are most irritated by the presence in the capital's administration of Andriy Vavrysh, who currently holds the position of deputy director of the Department of Urban Development and Architecture, despite having neither relevant experience nor an architectural education. During Oleksandr Popov's tenure, this man did everything in his power to bring Kyiv's patriotic small businesses to their knees, brazenly and methodically employing both legal administrative prohibitions and illegal methods—demands for bribes and threatening warnings," the letter states.
Business leaders emphasized to the head of the Presidential Administration that Andriy Vavrysh continues to perform important functions at the Kyiv City State Administration, despite numerous media reports widely revealing his role in a series of high-profile scandals involving financial and administrative abuses classified as corruption, his involvement in the electoral process, pressure on the judiciary, and even suspicions of ordering criminal actions.
"Members of the public organizations we lead rightly pose a pressing question to us and the Kyiv authorities: have revolutionary changes truly taken place in Kyiv and has the blood of the Knights of the Heavenly Hundred been shed in vain? After all, most representatives of the capital's business community associate Andriy Vavrysh with the systemic obstruction of the development of domestic small and medium-sized businesses during the Yanukovych era. Meanwhile, this official, contrary to the provisions of the Law on the Purification of Government, No. 1682-VII of September 16, 2014, continues to hold his position with the consent of the capital's current leadership," the letter states.
In this regard, the signatories asked Boris Lozhkin to “convey this information to the President of Ukraine in order to initiate appropriate personnel decisions.”
Attached to this letter to the AP were 23 pages of media materials.
