Russia’s Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev ordered to provide information on incomes of the civil servants in charge of the Russian Railways, Higher School of Economics, and ITAR - TASS news agency. The duly signed government decree states that chief executive officers of 29 state government-owned corporations are supposed to release to public their incomes and expenses. “From now on, head officers of these organizations, their deputies and chief accountants are obliged to provide data about their incomes, expenditures, properties as well as similar data about their marital partners and children of minority age,” said Vice Prime Minister Sergey Prikhodko. The list of the state-run organizations whose senior executives must give an account to tax payers comprises the following: OAO Russian Railways, State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom, ITAR – TASS news agency, Government Corporation of Olympic Facilities Construction and Infrastructure in Sochi, Support Fund for the Reform of Housing and Utilities Sector, Strategic Initiative Agency, Higher School of Economics, etc. Prime Minister believes that such a law making act could not have come at a better time in the light of the recent juicy corruptive scandals related to the senior officers of the government corporations. “Nowadays, civil servants file asset and income disclosure on a yearly basis. I suppose that we have chosen the right direction and we are to stick to this course. It concerns officials and their immediate families. I assume that similar standards should be applied to other institutions as well,” Dmitry Medvedev commented on his decision. Now, anyone concerned can get to know the report of “the advantageous and beautiful life” of civil servants.
