MINSK, 13 June (BelTA) - It is important to streamline the system of financial support of large families in order to exclude cases of abuse by negligent parents, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he appointed Natalya Pavlyuchenko as the Labor and Social Security Minister on 13 June, BelTA has learned.
"It is no secret that we have many large families who should not be allowed access to allowances in cash. This money does not reach children as their parents use it on alcohol or other stuff. We need to tailor the system to the needs of children from large families (we will continue to support such families in terms of housing and so on; this is the number one issue for us), to put a barrier to misuse and to establish the criteria to make sure the money reaches children," the president stressed.
"We need to approach these issues very carefully, not formally. The money must reach those who need it," the head of state added.
