Jiangxi village committee was directed to subsistence households to forcibly distribute welfare lottery tickets

“To learn from a subsistence allowance, you need to buy a lottery ticket.” In recent days, villagers in Yinkeng Village, Yinkeng Town, Yudu County, Jiangxi Province complained that they had encountered a strange event in the village and the village committee’s cadres forcibly handed out welfare lottery tickets to low-income families. If you do not buy it will be disqualified.

Villager complaints

The village committee distributes lottery tickets to low-income households

“Some households in the village’s subsistence allowances are extremely difficult to live in. There are many families with special hardship who are handicapped. To a large extent, they rely on the government’s support to spend more than 30 yuan per month on the minimum living allowance. Usually spending money is one dollar. Two yuan.” The man surnamed Huang complained that not long ago, the cadres of the village committee may have received the above notice and received some welfare lottery tasks, so they found the village’s minimum guarantee households and asked them to pay for each household. People buy a 50-yuan welfare lottery ticket, otherwise they will not receive a minimum insurance premium.

To this end, the reporter went to Yinkeng Village, Yinkeng Town, Du County. After the villagers pointed out, the reporter randomly found the new housing village group of low-income households Huang Jinglin home.

Huang Jinglin told reporters that he has 5 people in his family and can receive a 500 yuan minimum living allowance every quarter. In June this year, Huang Jijin, a village planning student specializing in the job, found him and asked him to purchase welfare lottery tickets. He said that every villager in the village had to buy, and if he did not buy, he would cancel his subsistence allowance.

In desperation, Huang Jinglin had to buy a $250 welfare lottery ticket at the standard of 50 yuan per person. "This is equal to one and a half months of our family's minimum living allowance." Huang Jinglin said that at home, it was already difficult. Although he was reluctant to buy lottery tickets, in order to not cancel the minimum guarantee, he still purchased lottery tickets as required. Subsequently, he showed the lottery tickets he purchased to reporters.

At the home of Liu Yinglong, the villager, Liu Yinglong also confirmed to reporters that his family also purchased a 200-yuan welfare lottery ticket. In addition, according to informed villagers, Huang Junsheng, a low-income householder, bought a 150-yuan welfare lottery ticket, Huang Jianhua’s home purchased a 200-yuan lottery ticket, Liu Guixiang bought a 50-yuan lottery ticket...

Huang Jinglin said that he had read the list of minimum living guarantees publicized by village committees. There were 57 households and 175 people, each of whom had purchased more than 8,000 yuan.

Village Director

Welfare lottery tickets are issued by the town

To this end, the reporter interviewed the relevant department of Yinkeng Township, and contacted Zhang Zuqing, the director of Yinkeng Village Committee through a mobile phone.

"Purchase of lottery tickets is voluntary, and low-guarantee households may purchase hundreds of lottery tickets." Zhang Zuqing said on the phone, the town issued a mission, the village received a 6,000-yuan lottery ticket, and the village officials bought themselves and did not impose. To the minimum guarantee households.

According to Zhang Zuqing, he purchased 300 yuan this year. Last year, the village cadres bought a 1,000 yuan lottery ticket for each person. "Last year, there were tasks."

In this regard, Zhang Yin, deputy director of the Civil Affairs Office of Yinkeng Township, Yudu County explained that “the purchase of lottery tickets is voluntary. Some people come to civil affairs offices and I will sell them.”

"Welfare lottery tickets are also taken from the people and used by the people. We must also support them." Zhang Zuqing said that for village cadres Huang Jijin called the low-income households to purchase lottery tickets in the name of cancelling the minimum guarantee, he believes these old forms (referring to the villagers). It's a bit extreme. "The staff will never say that."

experts and scholars

Lack of refraction related regulatory systems

“The role played by the welfare lottery has always been to help the disabled and save the country. Now it is for those who are rescued to spend money to buy their own lottery tickets. This is a 'black humor'.” An Academy of Science scholar said that behind this is the lack of supervision systems related to the minimum pension and welfare lottery.

“The low living guarantee fund is a policy fund issued by the government to people with difficulties, and it is a “help money” that only meets the basic needs of the recipients. Although the welfare lottery is a public benefit, the purchase of lottery tickets will eventually be gambling in nature. The risk is that.” A staff member of the Civil Affairs Department of Jiangxi Province believes that allowing difficult people to take out some of the minimum insurance premiums to buy lottery tickets is not only contrary to the original intention of the government to issue the minimum guarantee premium, but it also harms the interests of the poor people and helps to a certain extent. Speculation has caused bad influence in society.

The reporter learned that as early as 2003, the Civil Affairs Bureau of Shigang Town in Xinjian County, Jiangxi Province had apportioned forced welfare lottery tickets to nearly 100 families of low-income families, resulting in the dismissal of the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Afterwards, the lottery money forcibly promoted is also returned to the low-income households. Previously, the Civil Affairs Bureau of Yongfeng Town, Guangfeng County, had been affixed with welfare lottery tickets when it issued a minimum insurance premium for the low-income households, and was also investigated and punished by relevant departments.

“At present, at the grass-roots level, many civil affairs departments will issue lottery ticket issuing tasks to civil administration units or individuals. In order to accomplish tasks, some units and individuals may adopt some methods of disguised operations.” Academician, Jiangxi Academy of Social Sciences According to the report, the civil affairs department responsible for issuing the minimum living allowance is also responsible for the issuance and management of welfare lottery tickets. This easily creates an opportunity for the interests of the department to impact the interests of the people and social interests. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate relevant regulatory systems and do a good job. While welfare lottery sales work, ensure that the “help money” of the hard-pressed people is not targeted.
