In Mykolaiv, after a meeting of the staff of “Mykolaivvodokanal”<\/strong> with the newly appointed director Hennadiy Izyumov<\/strong>, employees said they intend to demand his dismissal from Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych<\/strong>. This became known from a video that was published<\/a> by Ihor Bloshko<\/strong>. It is in this recording that complaints about the manager and a call to draw up a formal protocol-appeal addressed to the mayor are heard.<\/p>\n

According to those present at the meeting, the acting director did not give clear answers to the questions<\/strong> that interested the company’s employees. The video contains accusations of “complete ignorance of the technologies, production and operation of the enterprise”<\/strong>. After this, part of the staff spoke in favor of preparing an appeal to the mayor demanding the replacement of the head. It should be emphasized: this is currently the position of the meeting participants as voiced on the video, and not an official decision of the city administration or the enterprise.<\/p>\n

The scandal looks even sharper against the background that Hennadiy Izyumov<\/strong> was appointed director of “Mykolaivvodokanal” only at the end of January. At that time the city council explained that he has experience managing large infrastructure facilities, particularly in the field of water supply and wastewater, and previously headed the water utility in Mariupol.<\/p>\n

One of the first high-profile episodes after his arrival was the public attention to personnel changes and internal communication within the enterprise. Separately, the name of technical director Vasyl Telpis<\/strong> has already been mentioned in the media space as a specialist who worked for years with Mykolaiv\u2019s water supply system and commented on the company’s key technological issues. As early as January, it was Telpis who publicly explained the parameters of the city’s water quality.<\/p>\n

After Izyumov’s appointment his public activity has repeatedly become a subject of discussion. In particular, at the management meeting on March 2<\/strong> the mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych<\/strong> specifically asked him to speak Ukrainian. And already in early April Izyumov<\/strong> publicly commented on the state of the water in Mykolaiv, stating its gradual improvement, although it has not yet reached the norm.<\/p>\n
