The fourteenth series of the program that was broadcasted on 13 April covered:

- Special reporting – a bicycle or a car: what's better to commute to the Parliament? We'll conduct a test-drive and try to park correctly.

- Let's see the other world – we'll tell about MPs riding bicycles in Britain, Netherlands and Uganda.

- In the rubrics "Parliamentary mathematics", colleagues of the program Dear Deputies in Volyn analyze income declarations of MPs in Volyn for 2014.

If we choose to believe official numbers, MP Serhii Martyniak (Volia Narodu group of MPs) owning the Pan Kurchak Agroindustrial Group has much higher earnings than his colleagues MPs – two co-owners of the Kontynium group Ihor Yeremeiev (Volia Narodu) and Stepan Ivakhiv (Volia Narodu). There's also information about income and property of other MPs from Volyn oblast, particularly Ihor Huz (People's Front) and Yurii Savchuk (People's Front). Who cuts a dash and who lives for wages? You'll know from the series.
