The Verkhovna Rada Defense Committee blocked payments under Fedorov’s points-based system, the so-called eBaly. At one point the committee members passed a law requiring the directions for using part of the military personal income tax to be approved by them.
After the June amendments to the law on the state budget, that approval became mandatory for 60% of the military personal income tax received by the Ministry of Defense. Funding for the eBaly fell under this procedure as well. Moreover, the Committee does not approve each individual purchase or delivery, but the general direction for using the funds.
As a result, manufacturers have already delivered equipment but have not received payment for it. Debts to some individual companies range from 24 million to hundreds of millions of hryvnias. And the most convenient thing about this scheme is that the law does not set any deadline by which the Committee must give its approval.
Once again the Verkhovna Rada Defense Committee acting against the state?
