Syria Uncovers Salaries for Dead and Oldest Person
An inspection tour in Aleppo uncovered an organized corruption network within the social insurance and pension institutions. Checks revealed contracts valued at over 3 trillion Syrian pounds (old currency). It was found that manipulations had taken place in recording these contracts aimed at reducing contributions, resulting in losses estimated at more than 90 billion Syrian pounds for the public treasury. Investigations also disclosed the failure to collect financial and insurance fees over the years, registration of hundreds of workers in violation of regulations, and the issuance of pensions to individuals who have been deceased for years and without entitlement— including a retirement salary paid to a person aged 150, and a woman who has been deceased since 2000. Additionally, there was manipulation involving more than 80 pension cards. The involved parties have been referred to the judiciary, along with directives to terminate the services of some employees. There are calls to expand inspection operations to include all government entities, emphasizing the importance of information technology and digitization to prevent manipulation and increase transparency.
