The Control and Audit Service announced the money returned to the state budget by the city of Šiauliai in its report.
The auditors noted that, in general, an excess of 11 million euros was collected in the budget, but as much as 20 million euros remained unused. The entire budget of the city of Šiauliai is 233.2 million. euros.
The largest part of the money returned to the state consisted of grants for social benefits and compensations. 234 thousand euros were not used.
The Šiauliai government likes slogans aimed at young people, they constantly call them the future of the city.
It is true that deeds speak louder than words: 152.5 thousand euros remained unused for the informal education of students, and almost 107 thousand euros for their social needs.
Smaller amounts were not used to finance social services (67.6 thousand euros), provide support for families and individuals to rent housing (12.5 thousand euros), provide social rehabilitation for the disabled (6.7 thousand euros), adapt housing for them (3 thousand . euros), to provide personal assistance (3.3 thousand euros).
An even larger amount did not reach families who are waiting for state-guaranteed social support.
More than 1.18 million euros remained in the budget of the city of Šiauliai, because there was no need for this support.
The latter fact should shock the townspeople who had to deal with formalities for social care or support for the elderly.
Because more than one resident of Šiauliai has received an offer from the officials to re-register the householder in a neighboring district, where there are fewer queues at care institutions.
There was a case when the need for care was determined, funding was allocated, but the officials delayed signing the contract with the care institution that accommodated the elderly person, so the service had to be paid for by domestics.
For the latter, the officials of Šiauliai gave advice to find an additional job in order to get more income and not have to pay the care institution so painfully.
This scandalous situation was resolved when the employees of the Ministry of Social Security and Labor intervened after receiving a written complaint from the family regarding the incomprehensible behavior of the officials.
