MOSCOW RUSSIA (OOSKAnews Correspondent) 25th January 2012, 01.56 — As part of his campaign to be re-elected president of Russia, Vladimir Putin has said that should he win he will remove from their posts regional governors who have allowed water utility prices to increase far above the rate of inflation.
Utility prices in Russia have traditionally increased in January, although in 2011 it happened in July.
However, in recent years many regions have seen large price increases that appear to bear little or no relation to the quality of services provided or the rate at which general prices are increasing in the economy.
Water utility companies in Russia are widely thought of as corrupt and inefficient.
