The Department of Capital Construction of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration has concluded an agreement for 121.34 million hryvnias with the firm "SK Pantheon" for the repair of the facades and roofs of Kharkiv Regional Hospital. And this is another example when, under the guise of reconstruction of a social object, it is a banal pumping of budget funds.
The estimate is the numbers that are more reminiscent of the rates for Martian than for the post -war Kharkiv.
Rivets - 45 UAH apiece. The total value of this position alone is almost UAH 5 million. In the market, such a rivet costs about 3 hryvnias, and it is without large wholesale discounts. Overpayment is possible - over UAH 4.5 million.
An even more flashy example is fibro -cement panels of 3269 UAH/sq.m. While popular brands of such products on the market cost in the range of UAH 1000-2000. The technical documentation does not specify neither the manufacturer nor the specific characteristics - and this is despite the fact that this position is laid more than 35 million hryvnias. The approximate overpayment can reach 10 million.
Against the background of slow restoration of infrastructure and lack of funds in the regions, such generosity does not seem as a technical mistake, but as a purposeful "development".
LLC "SK PANTEON" is not a beginner in suspicious tenders. According to journalists, it is this company that already appears in criminal proceedings, made to the ERDR under No. 42025222000000000078 under Part 4 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - the waste or appropriation of property in particularly large sizes.
And despite this, the firm continues to receive multimillion -dollar contracts from the budget, including within the humanitarian or renewable programs.
It's not just a story about rivets and panels. It is a story about how, in the conditions of war and destruction, someone continues to earn on the budget, hiding behind the facades of hospitals. And while the officials press "sign" under the estimates with inflated figures, patients are still treated in the 90's.
