Second, it would be worth, if the deputies and senators during field trips systematically
and deeply study the problems that worry the population and put forward relative tasks
before the government and local authorities, demand their solutions as well as take concrete
measures on the perfection of legislation.
Third, I think the time has come to give up the practice of adopting sub-legal acts and
make laws of the direct action.
For example, nowadays there are 8 laws, 14 decrees and more than 100 sublegal acts
apply, that regulate relations in the sphere of foreign investments.
However, it is not important for local and foreign investors how many decrees and
ordinances are adopted, more important only clear and effective work of the whole system
in this sphere.
I would request our esteemed deputies to become more active, take initiative in their
hands on the elaboration of the draft laws. They should not be a third party observers, but
initiators and authors of laws. It is what the electorate/voters – our people are waiting for.
We need immediately to form a list of laws that lost their meaning and adopt laws of
direct action on the basis of deep critical study of existing problems, taking into account up-
to-date world practice.
Fourth, creation of any law or ordinances demands deep analysis of the existing
problems in one or another sphere, study of advanced experience, in a word, painstaking
work.
We should not to forget that the improvement of living conditions of our people – is the
final goal of the adoption of legislative acts.
The key matter is timely bringing of its essence and meaning to the people in charge
and the population, maintaining their inexpressibly realization. We need to strengthen the
role of justice bodies in this matter.
Dear compatriots!
Any law, besides its introduction of certain right, imposes also obligations. The basic
Law of our country imposes citizens to observe the Constitution and laws, respect the rights,
freedom, honor and dignity of other people.
The formation of the legal awareness and legal culture in the society depends first of
all on the environment and education.
I will give one example. In the city of Calgary in Canada that counts more 1 million
vehicles during 10 months of the year of 2018 10 people have died in the road traffic
accidents. For comparison, in our country where there are 2,5 million units of vehicles in
total, during 10 months of the same period over 1600 people have died on the roads. Isn’t
it a tragedy, a big loss?
We raised the responsibility for the traffic offence. Is it enough to solve the problem? I
think not. The cause of such offences is connected with the problems of legal culture.
Until we do form a high legal culture in our society, do not put an end to such
phenomenon, offences of law will continue.
Respect of law is being educated on the basis of legal awareness and legal culture of
our people. In other words, some abide by the law out of fear of being punished; others
respect the law thanks to gained education in childhood.
That is why we must at first place to conduct a wide explanatory work among the
population, especially youth, on the legal matters. Simply speaking we must teach our
children from the yearly years to understand what is right and what is wrong, whereas we
ourselves must be example for them.
Surely, lesions on the subject of «Law» are in the school curriculum, but they are pro
forma conducted, an educative meaning of the law recedes into the background. A
systematic propaganda of legislative acts is not arranged by responsible bodies.
