In particular, 422.8 million soums were spent on non-qualified teachers in secondary public schools of the Jalaluduk district, Andijan region.
In the Bukhara region, in 12 medical institutions of the healthcare system, while calculating the one-time financial assistance to ambulance workers from the budget and sponsors, the amount of financial assistance was incorrectly calculated in relation to a number of employees.
