Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev made a statement about the provision of social benefits. He noted that some benefits are given based on embezzlement. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.
According to the head of state, there should be no place for injustice in the distribution of social benefits. He emphasized that this issue is under special control.
In addition, Tokayev noted that 88 trillion tenge had been allocated for the development of the social sector over the past seven years. However, questions arise about the effectiveness of spending these funds.
The president also hinted at the need to reduce the number of recipients of social benefits. In his opinion, benefits should be provided only to those who are truly in need.
'Some are given based on embezzlement,' Tokayev said, speaking about social benefits.
Earlier it was reported that measures are being taken in Kazakhstan to reform the social assistance system. The authorities promise to ensure transparency of social payments.
