Shchukin: every budget ruble is a resource of citizens, misuse is unacceptable

The head of Dagestan, Fyodor Shchukin, in his speech at the National Assembly of the Republic, spoke about the budget policy, stressing that the region remains subsidized, and a significant part of the budget is formed at the expense of the federal center.

According to Shchukin, the main problem is not only limited funds, but also in the effectiveness of their use. “Every budget ruble is a resource owned by citizens. It is unacceptable inefficient and inappropriate spending, he said.

The head of the region noted that the development of the budget refers to specific results: built facilities and repaired roads.

The priorities are energy, water supply and sanitation, waste disposal, road construction, agriculture, tourism, medicine and education. Shchukin said that all existing programs will be audited, strict control over the use of budget funds and personal responsibility for each ruble will be established.

An important reserve, he called real estate objects illegally appropriated by former officials and returned to state ownership on the claims of the Prosecutor General’s Office.

In addition, the head of the region expects that successful Dagestani entrepreneurs will re-register business in the republic so that taxes go to its development.
