Lukashenka Reports About Certain Clans In Health Ministry

They allegedly want to run away abroad.

Lukashenka instructed the new Minister of Health Aliaksandr Khadzhayeu to put an end to clannishness in the Ministry of Health, his press service reports.

"There should be only professionals. People devoted to their work and the state. This is the most important element. And I am counting on it very much. I know that you are a person out of the clan. Although we have so-called family dynasties, clans and so on in the Ministry of Health. The things they have there. It shouldn't be like that. I really expect you to put an end to it.

A dedicated man, a professional, a statesman. So that he doesn't just keep his post and look somewhere at a neighbouring country, looking for a quicker way to escape - either for more money or for something else. We've also started to deal with it," said Lukashenka.

On January 25 Lukashenka unexpectedly replaced the head of the Ministry of Health.
