The Kiev government proposes to solve the problem of mass thefts of counters of heat, with security guards. But her services will be charged additionally, according to a story TSN.19:30.
High-rise residents who have agreed to such a Council, paid about UAH 5 per month. The sum costs alarm. In some houses, where the counters had allegedly stolen a few months ago, they mysteriously return to the scene, and witnesses say they set their men in uniform “Kyivenergo”.

The Kiev government will implement the program for the protection of heat exchangers. It has laid 10 million. The municipality is ready to provide funds for the installation of a security system, and the townspeople in case of acceptance it will receive new bills for protection, but only the state. Private firms in the project will not be tolerated.
The Kiev Deputy mayor advises to use the services of state protection. “In relation to any risks, we decided not to get involved with commercial organisations in terms of protection. There is a public structure, police protection – the only one who can give such a guarantee and to provide such a service,” he said. However, this recommendation was not relished experts, who consider it to be an echo of Soviet times – when all the state was considered the best private. According to the law, stress private security guards and preferences to market participants based on the forms of ownership should not be. Police protection really has the greatest number of outfits response and more power when arresting a criminal, but a licensed private security guards are too quick to react, but they are much cheaper – half. And to choose should the owners of houses, not city hall.

It is hoped the national Commission, carrying out state regulation in spheres of power and utilities.
