Lukashenka says his decisions are not based on loyalty.
President of Belarus Aliaksandr Lukashenka said that he does not appoint people based on their loyalty. Lukashenka made the relevant statement at the session of the Executive Committee of the National Olympic Committee of Belarus on 1 November, BelTA says.
“No people should be appointed to any positions based on their loyalty. Don’t think that I appoint people in an offhand manner. I seriously examine them before appointing. The key thing is that a person should be an ardent professional, who should do his or her best at work,” said Aliaksandr Lukashenka.
The head of state remarked that sport had become big politics and big economy. “The removal of national borders and the advancement towards the wide field of international relations have become most important traits of sport,” he said.
Maksim Ryzhankou has been appointed Belarus presidentisal aide for physical training, sports, and tourism development as a man “with experience of diplomatic service, who can contribute a lot to sport,” said the head of state.
Ihar Rachkousky, the former chairman of the State Border Committee fired after the “bear drop,” was appointed the first vice president of the National Olympic Committee of Belarus.
Lukashenka also has great hopes for new Sports and Tourism Minister Aliaksandr Shamko.
Aliaksandr Lukashenka explained his reasons behind the appointment of the new executives for the sport industry: “I wanted to appoint people from the outside. I didn’t seek candidates among so-called sport specialists. Because I am concerned not only by the lack of effort of the former executives but also by corruption among them. I had to avoid a clan system and therefore appointed and recommended people from the outside. These are people, who understand and love sport”.
