ArmInfo. The department of state interests of the Armenian Prosecutor
General's Office has instituted a criminal case on illegal business
activities, cheating and abuse of official position connected with
provision of obstetrics allowances, says the press-service of the
Prosecutor General's Office.
The source says that G.Aristakesyan, inspector of the department for
social payments and revenues of the territorial Nairi tax inspection
of the State Revenue Committee of Armenia, as well as his friend,
entrepreneur M.Badalyan, and a pregnant woman S.Lazarian were caught
embezzling big funds from the state budget. In June-August 2008 forge
reports worth about 1.4 bln AMD were presented to the Nairi territorial
tax inspection. The same way certain funds were embezzled from the
state budget in 2009. By the instruction of the prosecutor general,
the Minustryu of Labor and Social Issues has been requested to provide
information on obstetrics allowances provided by the territorial
social service bodies in 2008-2009. As a result of investigation,
numerous cases of cheating in various amounts have been revealed in
both Yerevan and regions of Armenia.
To note, literally last week an ArmInfo correspondent was trying
to find out at the Armenian Ministry of Labor and Social Issues how
many lump-sum grants and in what amount were provided for childbirth
in 2009. With this question the ArmInfo correspondent applied to
Greta Grigoryan, head of the ministry department for allowances, who
refused to give any information. She only pointed out that the budget
funds were not enough and the ministry had to apply to the government
for additional financing in connection with unprecedented birth rate
growth in 2009. Mrs Grigoryan failed to clarify how the budget funds
turned out to be insufficient. Meanwhile, according to ArmInfo's
data, from the funds initially allocated by from the budget in 2009,
102 thsd AMD in the average fell on each newborn baby. Moreover,
not everybody applies for an allowance, and the ministry could also
economize on children.
