YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 4, ARMENPRESS: Armenian Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsyan tasked today the heads of state institutions affiliated to the
government and the ministers to pay greater attention to the increase
of the efficiency of the management system of their establishments.
"Our studies show that we have a serious issue - today the government
system is not functioning effectively. The president of the country
established a number of standards for us and all the ministers have to
be guided by them to assess whether the ministries have been working
effectively or not," Tigran Sargsyan said. For that reason it is
necessary to establish mechanisms for describing the activity of
the ministries. On the basis of this description an effective system
of evaluation must operate together with material encouragement so
that the officials of the establishment know for what they are being
encouraged.
"The issues the Armenian president has put before us are very
serious and difficult, applying such system demands serious efforts
and knowledge. Prime Minister's oversight service revealed that
unfortunately our management system is not effective and it may be
witnessed by the fact that the assignments and programs are not being
carried out, moreover cases of not carrying out the assignments of the
president are being registered. It means that the oversight system is
not functioning in the ministries. If the ministry is not carrying
out an assignment or an event at list the minister must apply to
the prime minister in a written form asking to extend the time,"
the prime minister noted.
Applying to the ministers, the prime minister said that they must
assign the heads of their staffs to report them periodically over
the pace of implementation of the programs and assignments.
"If during one week the situation will not change I will issue
warnings because in this way we put under risk the implementation of
our programs, which is unacceptable," Tigran Sargsyan said.
