How Terekhov and Co. pocketed 121 million on expired food for children. Why have children become hostages of the government's corrupt games?
Instead of the promised communal paradise and political ambitions, Kharkiv authorities under Ihor #Терехов are pushing schemes that prey on the most vulnerable. The main arena for replenishing oligarchic groups' budgets has become school cafeterias, and the key executing link is the municipal enterprise “Children's Food Combine” (KP “Kombinat dytyachoho kharchuvannia”) led by long-serving city council deputy N. Tymofieieva.
📌The scheme for procuring children's food has been operating for years. As early as January 2016, the enterprise signed a contract with LLC “Nadiia-92” for 7,57 million hryvnias for more than two million individual packets of milk of 180 milliliters each. Because of that packaging, the price per liter reached 20,72 hryvnias, although in Dnipro and Kryvyi Rih similar products were purchased for 8,86 and 9,18 hryvnias per liter respectively, overpaying by more than twice.
Now the scale of abuses has only grown. The last five tenders for supplying meat, fish, cheese, grains, and oil were stretched out for 💰121,7 million hryvnias. The companies “VP Rohanskyi Meat Processing Plant,” “VTK PLUS,” “PROD TORG ALLIANCE,” “PRIDE-21” and “SKHID-TRADING LTD” divided contracts among themselves for 23 million hryvnias for sausages, 28,4 million for hake, almost 31 million for fermented milk cheese, 22,6 million for grains, and 16,8 million for sunflower oil.
The procedures were conducted without dividing into lots and with discriminatory requirements for facilities, transport, and certificates, which completely destroyed competition. The calculated overpayment is at least 30 percent, which is more than 36,5 million hryvnias in direct losses to the city budget.
However, the financial schemes are only part of the problem. Suppliers systematically violate temperature regimes, storage and logistics requirements, which results in expired and low-quality products reaching school cafeterias.
✅We have already filed an official complaint and statements about the commission of a criminal offense regarding these facts. Our legal demands are clear: conduct laboratory sampling directly in educational institutions, check expiration dates and the origin of goods, and hold officials and suppliers accountable for purchases at inflated prices and possible anti-competitive coordinated actions.
