The Verkhovna Rada is planning to update its official website.
This is stated in a press-release circulated by the Verkhovna Rada press service.
Several mass media have recently reported Rada allocated funds for updating its website and creating a personal site for the speaker, the press-release says.
«In connection with the situation surrounding this issue, we want to stress the Verkhovna Rada's website needs to be updated as it lacks a search mechanism, the structure is overloaded, there is no users' forum and on-line links with consumers», the press-release explains.
The Rada's website needs a separate page about activity of the speaker and his deputies to meet modern requirements for information policy of the supreme legislative body.
In 2006, the Department of Computerized System Management in the Parliament was to provide a technical design of a new website.
But the previous parliamentary elections hindered its application, the press release says.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, Verkhovna Rada Chairman Arsenii Yatseniuk called on the parliamentary regulation committee to stop blocking putting the Rada-3 upgraded voting system into operation.
The Verkhovna Rada regulation committee opposes introduction of the Rada-3 system.
On August 30, the parliamentary administration renewed the Rada-3 electronic voting system equipped with a mechanism for deputies' individual voting.
