Prehistory:
- The Bihus.Info investigation showed that the service centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs work inefficiently and cannot cope with serving citizens: people spend the night under the SC in queues for tickets for the practical exam, they have to hunt around the clock for an electronic ticket due to incorrect system operation, and hackers and “runners” continue sell them for money.
- Meanwhile, the employees of the largest SC drive to work in cars that are not in the declarations due to registration or for relatives or just strangers.
- After the investigation was made public, the Ministry of Internal Affairs promised a “systematic reboot” of the service centers: to conduct an unscheduled official inspection, deal with the electronic queue and appoint a “new management team” at the GSC.
