We have money as good as new, but not for the like of you

Senior officials of the state in 2015 decided to cut pensions and salaries by 30%. Deputies have interpreted these actions as illegal. These are the findings of a special committee of the Supreme Council, whose members held a deputy investigation into the non-payment of full salaries and pensions to state boards. They were represented by its head, vice-speaker Alexander Shcherba. Earlier received to the address by the Commission from the public authorities the information was classified as "Secret" and "Confidential". Arguing that, in accordance with the Constitution and the Law "On State Secret" information affecting the constitutional rights, freedoms and interests of citizens cannot be kept secret, the deputies adopted a unanimous decision to discuss important social issues in public.

Initiators’ viewpoint cuts cash payments has been presented in the official video materials previously broadcasted on state television, it was commented by Alexander Shcherba. He cited the data on which the people's representatives concluded: there was money in the budget for the payment of pensions and wages, but their spending priorities were placed incorrectly, clearly not for the benefit of citizens. For example, in the United State Social Insurance Fund for the period from July to November 2015 it was 1 billion 346 million rubles. At the same time payment of pensions for the period would have amounted to 1 billion 054 million rubles. The surplus is more than 300 million rubles. Obviously, it would pay off all existing debt to pensioners.

The vice-speaker noted numerous serious violations of the Constitution, the Labor Code and other laws expressing the opinion of the commission members, it includes 9 people.

Vice-Speaker Alexander Shcherba, the head of the parliamentary commission concluded the report of the interests of all without exception Pridnestrovian.
