July 21, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has given Prime Minister Alaksandar Tur\u010dyn and State Control Committee Chairman Vasil Hierasima\u016d two weeks to tackle problems in agriculture as he addressed officials ahead of the harvest campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo one will tolerate chaos, drunkenness or theft,\u201d the state-run media outlets quoted him as saying just a day after Siarhiej A\u016dsijevi\u010d, deputy head of the interior ministry\u2019s economic crimes unit, said that 90 percent of crimes in the agricultural sector were related to theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[Discipline] must be ironclad, both as far as compliance with procedures and the performance of duties are concerned,\u201d he was quoted by Pul Pervogo<\/em>, a Telegram channel linked to his press office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian ruler warned his regional aides and chiefs that they would bear personal responsibility for ensuring order during the harvest campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know who shows up there and who doesn\u2019t,\u201d \u0141uka\u0161enka noted. \u201cIf you think you can just take a quick stroll, then sit in your office and pretend you were there and did something, it won\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
