the 2010 Annual Report of RA Control Chamber.
The NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan voiced some interpellations concerning
him. Mr Abrahamyan asked if the CC worked with the NA Standing
Committees in the realization of the proposals and what steps were
taken. As Mr Abrahamyan noticed according to the law NA Rules of
Procedure, the Government has the right of making co-report and giving
two extraordinary speeches, and it has not taken the opportunity of
using it. One may suppose that the Government simply agrees with the
studies made. And the last question: what are the responses from the
proposals addressed to the government connected with the shortcomings
and violations, the NA Speaker said.
The CC Chairman Ishkhan Zakaryan said that an agreement had been
reached with the NA relevant committee to debate the proposals
relating to the legislative amendments in the committee, then to
submit to the parliament for its approval. He highlighted the joint
work with the committees in the context of CC-NA cooperation. In
response to Mr Abrahamyans next question, the CC Chairman said that in
his opinion the report and the speech are the problem and right of the
government. After being approved the reports in the CC Council,
according to the law, within one-month term they are sent to the
government, after which the executive body should answer the CC with
rejections, with which it does not agree or has remarks and proposals.
The Chairman of the NA Standing Committee on Financial-Credit and
Budgetary Affairs Gagik Minasyan touched upon the form of the report,
which to him, is a novelty and complies with the international
standards.
In his final speech the CC Chairman Ishkhan Zakaryan thanked the
deputies for concerned debates and expressed willingness for further
