Over two years, the institution's employees were overpaid 22,218,531 tenge.
In September in Astana, a former head of the RSE "Directorate for Sports Development," Samat Yergaliev, was convicted for abuse of official powers. The damage from his actions amounted to 113 million tenge.
Later, prosecutors uncovered embezzlement during a review of the legality of spending budget funds at the Centre for National Sports of the Mangystau Region. It was reported that from 2018 to 2023, the chief accountant of the institution illegally appropriated budget funds totalling 117 million tenge.
