PARLIAMENT PREZ: "THE LOOTERS MUST BE BOOTED OUT OF OFFICE"
Grisha Balasanyan
At today's parliament session, RA Control Chamber President Ishkhan
Zakaryan presented an accounting of his department's 2012 activities,
noting that widespread abuses still exist in the sectors of state
purchases and construction.
Zakaryan confessed that purchases of certain goods and services are
often made at above market prices.
When Zakaryan began to list the inflated prices paid for construction
materials for the building of new courthouses, Justice Minister Hrayr
Tovmasyan got up and left the session, giving the impression that
such revelations were of no concern to him.
In his expose, Zakaryan noted that the government had paid 1,007 AMD
for one meter of cable that can be bought in any store for a mere
130 AMD. He even showed the MPs a store receipt to that effect.
270 million AMD in over payments were found just in the court
construction sector. Zakaryan said that he would be sending some of
these cases to the prosecutor's office.
Parliament President Hovik Abrahamyan seemed astonished that such
abuse was going on and that those responsible, the "looters" as he
called them, were still in office.
Abrahamyan said he hoped hat Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan would
see to it that such officials were booted out.
