On Thursday, the Metropolitan Municipality handed out prizes, as noted in advance of disseminating the announcement KSCA - valuable. Lucky chosen by lot from among the most conscientious payers utilities. From Kiev, who for the past three years had no arrears in payment of utility bills, in the manual Main Information and Computing Center counted 94 thousand, and registered in the hope of receiving a prize 10 thousand 910 people. In the mayor's office in a draw of only 236 invited - those who first called the Call-Center KSCA.

in the doorway of the capital meri appears elderly lady in a red dress in a big white peas and hat. He gets a passport from her bag. It is found in the list of registered honest tax payers and give out a sheet with serial number.

- I do not claim the prize. I, as an ordinary citizen, it was just interesting to get to City Hall, to see how they live, our government - says Larisa, adjusting his hat. - Frankly, I do not expect the prizes. I was told that everything here has long been distributed.

- And how do you refer to higher tariffs? Pay the higher, despite calls by Tymoshenko and Kucherenko? - I ask pensioner.

- I'm always sure to pay the bills. I know that our country is going to increase prices and tariffs. Sooner or later the prices will still be raised. I have a large two-bedroom apartment. I live there with a cat and crying in the light of benefits to children of war nearly 300 hryvnia. Pensions I - 1500 hryvnia. I think that I can afford to pay for an apartment. And I eat little.

Smiling, Larisa Ivanovna slowly rises in the columned hall, where already in anticipation of the draw valuable prizes sedately seated good payers, the vast majority of them senior citizens - people with a heightened sense of responsibility.

- We never had debt. We pay on time all my life, - says another participant shares Valentina.

While complaining that 250 hryvnia, which has to pay the higher costs, eat up the lion's part of her pension of 650 hryvnia. He says that he understands the law of the tariff increase, but in this case and finds it necessary to increase pensions. Beside the husband sat nodding approvingly as a sign of solidarity.

On shares

couple learned from the newspapers, and then bills received an invitation to participate in the prize draw.

- Do you think your fortune today at party?

- Probably, yes. We have a light hand - laughing Valentina.

in the hall in anticipation of new owners are gifts: three bullion bank gold and 5 grams, the 7 - to 2 grams, 100 silver coins with the image of Ivan Franko, water-purifying filters and multiple devices, Three-in-one - copier, printer and scanner.

In the hall there, the mayor of Kiev. Some particularly susceptible grandmother met him standing. The action starts.

- I am pleased to welcome here the most diligent taxpayers a bill for housing and communal services, depth of decent people who love to you, our city of Kiev, his entrance, his home, his apartment - began his speech by Leonid Chernovetsky. - We are now all difficult. The state threw many of you at the arbitrariness: small pensions, low salaries. And we in the administration is full of problems. Authorities seized exactly half of the budget of Kyiv, despite the crisis. We also learn to live within our means. Problems all missing. I am touched by the fact that all 94 thousand people, decent people, second in the second, the day to pay for utilities. We should love their city and do everything so that the winter we are not caught unawares, and that the water was hot, and that everyone in town was done correctly.

Chernovetsky again noted that in Kiev the lowest rates for utilities in the country and assured:

- While I was mayor, such standards to be maintained for Kiev.

Such a statement seemed a little strange, based on the initiative Chernovetsky same increase tariffs, around which are still ongoing discussions on the level of the country.

Leonid proudly announced that this year the cost of gifts increased.

- Last time we were given two grams of gold. And now and five. And gold, by the way, more expensive. It has 999 samples, the most pure.

tickets with serial numbers present participants immersed in the drum for the raffles. The drum rotates slowly. 236 pairs of eyes froze in excitement and anticipation. Chernovetsky get a ticket and announce the name of the first lucky - Dyadyura OA

Olga gets pyatigrammovy gold bar and a free software application - photographed with the mayor. Chernovetsky promises to send photos to all the winners, along with his autograph.

- I do not expect. Confused. Even the first - is shared with the press first impressions Olga Dyadyura. - A daughter told me that without the gold did not come.

- pay the higher costs?

- must pay. Here we pay punctually all 40 years. Our benefits: husband - a former soldier in Afghanistan was. But still comprise 350 hryvnia.

After the first draw of gold coins to pass, then comes the turn of filters. In journalistic circles begin excitement - who would get the other bars?

As it turned out, Chernovetsky also interested in the question, why not played out the gold? He began to explain that later play out among the bars of all registered 10 thousand conscientious payers utilities, and not only among present themselves for the ceremony.

- No, the gold would be today - the mayor insists.

director KP Main Information and Accounting Center KCSA Stanislav Kaplunenko turns away and raises his eyes to heaven. In drum asleep tickets with serial numbers of all 10,910 participants. And once again spinning the reels.

- anyway, it's wrong - and quietly offended notes Chernovetsky, who wanted to play the gold among those present and immediately transmit them to bars in person at hand.

sitting in the hall, too, did not like the idea Kaplunenko, which reduced their chances of winning. Their fears were confirmed - all the gold got away honest Kievans.

Sad Chernovetsky left the room without waiting for the action.

... peculiar prize motivation payers ofutilities, of course, can take place. But the capital's authorities need to be concerned about the quality of municipal services. And you can start with their same monastery. Here I came, sorry, ladies' room at City Hall on the first floor, and there is a faulty valve. Open it - and the water spreads across the sink, without reaching hands.
