He was a journalist by profession. He was on every television and radio
channel complaining about the behavior of the government and the
government was forced to a decision and since then there has been
no threat to the budget of the office. We have been through difficult
times as other people have so the budget was reduced at times not
because of anything that the office was saying but simply because of
the amount of money available was reduced. But I do think that if you
can get to a situation where it is a committee of the parliament that
provides the budget as many ombudsman offices have rather than the
ministry of finance defining the budget it does give you a better chance
of being able to retain your budget when you are being properly critical
of the administration.

CHAIR: Thank you, Peter. Thank you very much for being brief also.
I think two last questions, the gentlemen here in the front and then the
ombudsman of Sudan. My apologies to the others we are running out of
time and we are also mindful of Chief Ombudsman’s time table. Sir?

SACİT ADALI- I have a question for all speaker but first of all, it goes to Mrs.
Valeriya Lutkovska.
Recommendations, discussions, annual reports constitute a stage
but there must be another end result that is expected. At the end 3 rd INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON OMBUDSMAN INSTITUTIONS
of the day, do all these things enable the public administration to
change or transform itself? What do the Ombudsman derived actions
administratively and legally change in legislation, attitudes, behavior,
procedures and principles? What kind of activities do you have to make
improvements in your country in this regard?
Thank you.

PRESENTER- Thank you.

VALERİYA LUTKOVSKA (Ombudsman of Ukraine)
Thank you very much. When we have a lot of applications some of them
bears systemic problem. Systemic problem are highlighted in my annual
report with concrete recommendations, how to improve the situation
with the legislation because the parliament is a legislative power. So,
