The capital’s mayor-general, Nikushor Dan, reacted on Sunday evening, more than 35 hours after Ana Orosh was killed by a pack of dogs in the Lakul Moriy area. He claims that he spoke with the people involved on Saturday and Sunday and that “this is the joint responsibility of several institutions, some of which are subordinate to the PMB.”

Nikushor Dan also says he refuses to get into “the game of incriminations and political accusations” and that he has asked the watchdog for a report and “those who did wrong will pay.”

The capital’s mayor responded with a message on Facebook, which we quote in full:

• “I am sorry that Ana Oros died yesterday in such a tragic way. Condolences to his family and friends.
• I spoke yesterday and today with the people involved. It is the joint responsibility of several agencies, some of which are subordinate to the PMB.
• But I refuse to enter the game of incriminations and political accusations.
• We asked the Mayor’s Control Service to provide a report on the shortcomings of each establishment, and those who were wrong will pay. And more importantly, what should each institution do so that such dramas do not happen again.”
