“A total of 1362 certificates for overhaul were issued, this is only 50% of the total,” he said.

After that, Deputy Prime Minister Vitaliy Mutko said that "among this there are 96 apartment buildings in which repairs are being centralized."

“No, no ... I’m saying that 1362 certificates for overhaul were issued, which is only 50% of the total,” the head of state said.

Mutko admitted that "this is a very low percentage." He added that the governor of the Irkutsk region, Sergey Levchenko, who was at the meeting, will report on the situation.

“Good, Sergey Georgievich, why so few?” The president asked.

Earlier, Putin said that he would very much like to hear how funds are being disbursed to help flood victims in the Irkutsk Region and the Far East.

The president also urged not to allow situations when the money allocated to the injured citizens does not reach the addressees.
