As RIA Novosti reports, he said this during a meeting with members of the Public Chamber of the region.

According to him, he is worried about how money is distributed during the construction of facilities in the region.

“Officials - both here and in Moscow and other regions - sometimes act in a utilitarian manner, at their discretion, where (to build. - RT) schools, where are the hospitals, where are the roads, landscaping, and people forget to ask,” he said.

Degtyarev added that "this, at least until September 2021, will not happen" while he is in the post of acting governor of the Khabarovsk Territory.

Earlier, Degtyarev said that he was not yet thinking about participating in the gubernatorial elections.

On July 20, Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed Sergei Furgal, who was arrested in the murder case, from his post as head of the Khabarovsk Territory due to a loss of confidence. Mikhail Degtyarev was appointed Acting Governor.
