OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE FOR ROADS
According
to the results of the study of the construction and repair work carried out in
road projects in 2021-2022 in the media and social networks based on the
information of the head of the Road Development Target Fund of the Ministry of
Finance It is not true that in 45 cases 34 trillion 575 billion soums were
recorded as ineffective and illegal spending.
Although
these materials state that a total of 13.3 trillion soums have been allocated
by the Fund for the implementation of road works in 2021 and the first half of
2022, funds of 34.5 trillion soums are ineffective and It is illogical to claim
that it was spent illegally.
After the
explanations provided by the press service of the committee, changes were made
to the information on some sites, and the phrase "34.5 trillion
soums" was changed to "34.5 billion soums".
In turn, the
information on the inefficient use of funds in the amount of 34.5 billion soums
was clarified, and information was obtained from the State Financial Control
Inspectorate under the Ministry of Finance.
According
to the submitted data, 12.1 billion soums (36%) out of 34.5 billion soums
belong to enterprises and objects that are not related to the republic's road
management system.
15.8
billion soums (71%) of the remaining 22.4 billion soums were not approved.
The
remaining 6.6 billion soums of road construction deficiencies were completely
eliminated during the inspection process and formalized with appropriate
documents.
It should
be noted that among the identified shortcomings, cases of looting of the Fund's
funds were not identified.
The
Committee for roads reiterates that it is open to all media, bloggers and
citizens, and is available to answer any industry questions, while respecting
the Constitutional rights to free speech.
