Expert Popenko named a simple way to increase pensions to 10 thousand hryvnias.


Oleh Popenko, a well-known expert in housing and communal services, explained how to increase pensions in Ukraine. According to him, changes are needed in the tax system, specifically in wage taxation. He also proposes to limit pensions for judges, prosecutors, and other top officials, reduce the number of officials, conduct audits of state-owned enterprises to reduce 'dead souls,' and limit the salaries and bonuses of high-level officials. Oleh Popenko also supports the idea of auditing the pension fund, limiting supervisory boards, and implementing a healthy tax policy.
The expert emphasizes the need to review the tariff policy for gas and electricity, as well as conduct audits of the energy customs and ordinary customs. He also suggests reviewing the land cadastre and tax accounting for natural resources. According to Oleh Popenko, these measures are sufficient to ensure that the minimum pension in Ukraine is 10,000 hryvnias.
The expert notes that to achieve this figure, it is necessary to stop budget theft. He mentions examples of employing relatives in high positions in the pension fund and the Medical and Social Expert Commission (MSEC). He also points out that the Prosecutor General's Office is investigating information about mass disability acquisitions by prosecutors.
