CASE ON BUDGET EXPENDITURE SENT TO PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE
Chairman of the Control Chamber Ishkhan Zakaryan said today at
the National Assembly that they have again revealed breaches in
construction and procurement where the situation causes concerns.
Obviously, those are systemic issues, he said. Zakaryan said that
the state pays for goods, labor and services at higher prices but
does not get value for money.
As to breaches in procurement, the Chamber has revealed that the
Judicial Program Implementation Unit signed an agreement of 545,000
euro with the Consortium of the American Suprematech Solutions INC and
Masis Information Systems CJSC for a feasibility study and software
needs assessment for the Global Judicial Network.
It has been revealed that the sum was transferred to Suprematech
Solutions INC while the names of Suprematech Solutions INC employees
were mentioned in the contract who were supposed to carry out the
studies. The employees of Masis said they did not receive any money
and did not provide any service.
The Control Chamber is not entitled to checking American companies
but considering corruption risks the case has been reported to the
Prosecutor's Office. Zakaryan thinks a criminal case will be launched
in this relation.
