MINSK, 9 April (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko has appointed Aleksandr Terekhov as deputy prime minister in charge of construction, transport, and housing and utility services, BelTA has learned.

Until now, Aleksandr Terekhov held the position of Director General of the state production association Minskstroy. Prior to that, for a number of years, he headed the Housing and Utility Services Ministry.

“When it comes to construction, I believe you are well-versed. You have mastered it properly. You also understand the housing and utilities sector. Everything comes together there, from our citizens’ complaints to construction itself. You will have to focus more on major overhauls and related tasks rather than new construction from the ground up. Counting money… I am sure you have picked up that skill as well, since you cannot work as a manager without knowing how to count money,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

There were several suggestions for this deputy prime minister post,” the president noted. “I approved your candidacy only because you have tried your hand at practically everything and run a fairly good enterprise,” the head of state noted.
