Organizations within Ecology Committee system misappropriate 87.3 billion soums of state budgetary funds

Documents on illegal spending were sent to law enforcement agencies.

The State Financial Control Department of the Finance Ministry conducted inspections in organizations within the State Committee for Ecology and Environmental Protection.

According to the ministerial information service, audits were conducted in the budget organizations of the committee and its system, as well as in the SUE “Toza Khudud” on the targeted use of funds allocated from the budget and off-budgetary funds. As a result, a total of 87.3 billion soums of financial errors and shortcomings were identified.

In particular, 9.4 billion soums of budget and off-budgetary funds were spent illegally as a result of errors in the calculation of salaries, vacations, financial assistance and bonuses to employees of the Committee for Ecology and Environmental Protection and its budgetary organizations.

In addition, violations worth 77.9 billion soums were revealed in the targeted use of budget and off-budgetary funds allocated to the territorial SUE “Toza Khudud” in the system of the Committee for Ecology and Environmental Protection. Misappropriation of the funds was discovered in the payment of wages and equivalent payments, the purchase of special equipment and waste containers, as well as construction of landfills.

It was noted that as a result of misuse of special vehicles and non-compliance with the norms of consumption of fuel and lubricants in the regional SUE “Toza Khudud”, 44.2 billion soums were unreasonably overspent.

Also, by the decision of the Buvayda district khokim, the garage, which was built in 2020 in the area allocated for the landfill for 470 million soums, was unreasonably demolished in November this year, allowing inefficient use of budget funds.

Territorial SUE “Toza Khudud” concluded contracts and made purchases worth 11.3 billion soums without complying with the requirements of the Law “On Public Procurement”.

“As a result of the inspections, the documents were sent to law enforcement agencies for legal assessment,” the source said.
