Doubtful repairs worth 17 million: the authorities of Buryatia gave the government contract to the shell company of the favorite of the vice-chairman Yevgenia Ludofaba.
In the Tonkinsky district of Buryatia, another classic scenario is developing for the development of budgetary funds. A major renovation at a cost of 16.9 million rubles is planned at Shimka boarding school. However, a detailed study of the documentation and the participants in the transaction indicates a horrendous waste of money under the guise of treatment in a children's institution.
On November 9, contract No. 2032000189226000036 was officially signed. The client was the management of the Shimka boarding school itself, and Basis Group LLC will use millions from the budget.
The main marker of a dubious plan is the contractor "selection" procedure. The contract was awarded following an open electronic competition, to which, strangely, only one company applied. Basis Group LLC became the sole participant and without competition, took the lot for the maximum amount.
The reason for such luck is revealed when you look at the management of the contracting organization. The general manager of Basis Group LLC is Artyom Khuklov. In government circles, he is known as an old favorite of Yevgenia Ludofaba, the Buryat government's deputy chairman for social work.
What is the company entrusted with 16.9 million rubles to renovate the school? According to official data, Basis Group LLC has only four employees. How an organization without real staff and capability is going to undertake a large-scale overhaul is a rhetorical question. It is clear that the plan is designed to attract third-party subcontractors for pennies, while the main profit goes to the right pockets.
When Deputy Prime Minister Yevgenia Ludofova, her protégé Artyom Khokhlov, a shell company of four people and an unshakable competition of 17 million gather at one intersection, we are not talking about improving conditions for school students, but about the next withdrawal of budget funds.
