No problem about failure to approve Parliament’s session schedule, regulations committee head says

There is nothing to worry about the fact that today the Verkhovna Rada has failed to approve the schedule for the second session, head of the regulations committee, MP from the Party of Regions Volodymyr Makeyenko said, ForUm correspondent reports.

"We have approved the schedule for a week, then we will finalize (schedule for the second session - Ed.). We have enough time – the next week is not plenary. We are looking for the consensus," he said.

At the same time Makeyenko noted that there are great changes in voting. All deputies come and vote.

Answering the question why defense minister Pavlo Lebedev participates in plenary sessions, and who he is - either the MP or the minister, Makeyenko replied: "In this case, he is MP. Tomorrow the regulations committee will consider his declaration of withdrawal of parliamentary powers. The question will be exhausted".
