N. ZOHRABIAN CONSIDERS BILL ON OFFICIALS' SALARY RISE AS UNFAIR
The bill was presented by a government that views the parliament as its
appendage. Secretary of Prosperous Armenia party (BHK) faction Naira
Zohrabian made that statement during the parliamentary discussion of
the draft law on remuneration of labor of persons holding state posts.
In her words, the draft was submitted by a government whose head,
at the time when he was chairman of the Central Bank of Armenia
(CBA), invited - from the parliament rostrum - MPs to work in CBA as
cleaners because some MPs had expressed an opinion that CBA cleaners'
wages are higher than those of parliamentary deputies.
Naira Zohrabian considered it unfair that salaries of teachers and
doctors are raised insignificantly, while high coefficients are used
to raise salaries of ministers and other high-ranking officials.
"I cannot look the unemployed in the eye because we yesterday,
thanks to your vote, deprived them of the opportunity to receive
benefits of 20,000 drams. I cannot explain why my salary should be
increased 12-fold, but salaries of others will grow only 3-4-fold,"
N. Zohrabian said in conclusion.
