The salary paid to parliamentarians starting April 1 will be 6109 hryvnias, according to the information posted by Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Groisman on Facebook.
“It will be 6109 hryvnias. This salary will be paid to a MP starting April 1. After all, I want to stop any speculations about it”, - wrote Groisman.
He added:
1. According to article 33 of the Law of Ukraine specifying the status of a parliamentarian of Ukraine, valid over many years, the MP’s salary equates to the salary of the member of the Cabinet of Ministers.
2. Until April 1, the provision setting out that the salary of the members of the Cabinet of Ministers, parliamentarians, other officials, could not exceed seven minimum salaries, amounted to 7Х1218 hryvnias = 8 526 hryvnias, was cancelled on March 2 this year.
3. Meantime, the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine passed on February 14, 2015, under No.43, on remuneration payable to members of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, heads of central executive branch and other public bodies in 2015 sets out that the monthly salary of the Ukrainian parliamentarian in 2015 is calculated by applying the salary of the member of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, equalling 6109 hryvnias today.
4. Given that, I’ve signed the resolution saying that the MP’s salary starting 1 April will be UAH 6109.
