The Special Commission for the Analysis of the Financial and Economic Situation of Moldova Railways State Enterprise (CFM) agreed at its first meeting on an action plan to clarify all the circumstances that led to financial instability, shortcomings and mistakes in the enterprise management.
The press service of the parliament reported this, recalling that, in general, the commission of inquiry created by the parliament to analyze the economic and financial situation of CFM and the results of the activity of the railway transport sector in 2010-2020 includes 10 MPs from different factions, and is headed by Oleg Lipskii. The reason for the creation of this commission was the critical financial situation of CFM. Thus, at the end of 2020, the accounts payable of CFM amounted to 459.4 million lei, and wage arrears (partly in October and November 2020) amounted to 35.5 million lei. The arrears of contributions to the social and health insurance budget amounted to 26.9 million lei, and to the state budget - 5.5 million lei. In this context, the members of the commission relied on the prompt identification of a solution to the problem of unpaid wages of CFM workers. An action plan was also proposed; it includes cooperation with specialized bodies in order to identify all the circumstances that led to financial instability, deficiencies in management and erroneous activities of the state-owned enterprise. It was decided that the list of questions of interest to the members of the special commission will be sent to the National Anti-Corruption Center, the Information and Security Service, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General's Office of Moldova. Among other things, the CFM financial report for 2010-2020 will be also requested, as well as a list of the company's immovable and movable property, including unused ones. An important topic is also the opinion of the Public Property Agency with regard to the absence of a CFM CEO for 14 months, since there was held no competition for this post. // 09.02.2021 - InfoMarket.
