Zhoghovurd: Poverty-stricken Armenia's government squandering money on cars
12:45 - 14.12.13
The Armenian cabinet on Monday passed a decision to allocate an
equivalent of $195,000 from its reserves to purchase cars for
different government agencies, the paper has learned.
It is reportedly planned to buy 69 service cars for different
subdivisions of the National Assembly, Control Chamber, the Special
Investigative Service, the Ministry of Education and Science and the
Central Election Commission.
`The Government affords such a luxury notwithstanding the 32.5%
poverty rate in the country', the paper says, adding that the
decision, not published on the Government's website, is available only
in the Official Bulletin, a weekly publication providing updates on
legal acts.
The paper concludes that the government very probably avoided
publicity, afraid of the society's possible wild reaction.
