In Mykolaiv, a critic of the company was appointed director of "Mykolaivkomtrans"

In Mykolaiv, Viktor Dmytruk, who had previously criticized the municipal enterprise “Mykolaivkomtrans” on numerous occasions, has been appointed its new director. Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych stated that Dmytruk will now have the opportunity to demonstrate in practice how the enterprise should be managed.

According to “MykVisti,” the mayor made this statement during a staff meeting.

According to Senkevich, during meetings focused on the city’s sanitation and the operations of municipal enterprises, Viktor Dmytruk frequently criticized “Mykolaivkomtrans.”

“So today he has the opportunity to show how this enterprise can be managed—not just with words or criticism, but through action,” the mayor noted.

Senkevich also announced that he had decided not to renew the contract with the company’s previous director. A one-year contract was signed with Viktor Dmytruk. He will assume his duties on November 10.

Among the new director’s main tasks is to systematically resolve issues with waste collection. The mayor instructed him to analyze the logistics, the number of available vehicles, and employee performance, as well as to more actively involve district administrations.

Separately, Senkevich called for the use of modern technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, to analyze the company’s operations and identify the causes of the regular accumulation of trash at collection sites.

“Don’t just react—removing waste from a specific site at a specific moment, only for the same situation to repeat itself the next day. Instead, think systematically about why this is happening,” the mayor emphasized.

He added that he evaluates the performance of utility company managers not only based on the fulfillment of tasks and financial plans, but also on the number of inquiries from residents to the city council’s contact center.
