Currently, in some regions, private companies are the delivery of pension savings with Russian Post. Practice shows that they do not always and everywhere work in good faith, said one of the authors of the review, Secretary of the General Council of United Russia Andrei Turchak.
“There are cases when private traders appear for months at the addresses of people who have already died. And in compulsory duties, for example, during floods, they do not fulfill their obligations at all, saying them to their mail, ”he explained.
In addition, private traders avoid social pressure, preferring where it is easier to work – in large cities and densely populated areas. While postmen carry pensions to remote villages and hard-to-reach areas, they use it.
“By making the Post of Russia a single operator for the delivery of pensions, we are eliminating this injustice and putting things in order in this area. The Post welcomes 1.5 million new customers. And pensioners are additional guarantees that the pension will be delivered on time and under any circumstances,” he clarifies.
Andrey Golubev, a member of the United Russia association, chairman of the Moscow Regional Duma committee on health, labor and social policy, noted that this is a general initiative, because pension provision is a special state matter and the state must achieve 100% accuracy within the time limit and in full volume of fulfillment of obligations to pensioners.
“Of course, a lot here depends on the operator. When the Russian Post federal structure does this, it guarantees the verification of all pension recipients and the smooth operation of the pension system. A combination and additional support for a set of backbone institutions, which is the Russian Post. A very correct initiative!” the parliamentarian is sure.
Recall that earlier United Russia made a proposal to restore network bandwidth in places and expand the functionality of the Russian Post. The initiative was supported by President Vladimir Putin. He instructed the Cabinet of Ministers to modernize more than 25,000 post offices in remote areas in 2022-2025. As a result, a program was formed, the implementation of which is under the control of United Russia.
