The Taraz Prosecutor's Office, during an inspection of a local limited liability partnership, uncovered a case of forging residents' signatures when concluding a contract for major repairs of the common property of an apartment building.
According to the press service of the agency, the selection of a contractor for repairing common property should be carried out by the building council. However, residents were not given the opportunity to choose the contractor and their signatures were forged.
Following the prosecutor's office's instruction, the fact of document forgery was registered with the city police department.
Furthermore, based on the results of the inspection of the limited liability partnership's activities, a criminal case was initiated regarding the unjustified spending of budget funds totalling 59 million tenge, which had been allocated for the modernisation of housing and communal services.
The investigation of the criminal case has been assigned to the Department of Economic Investigations of the Zhambyl Region.
Recall that in April, the Supreme Audit Chamber (SAC) identified irrational spending of budget funds during the modernisation of heat and water supply and wastewater systems. At that time, following the agency's instruction, 84.4 million tenge was saved and additional unjustified expenditures were prevented.
