Ethics Commission Declined TI Application
The Ethics Commission has refused the application of Transparency
International to investigate discrepancy between the declaration of
property of Member of Parliament Hermineh Naghdalyan and her family
and press reports. The Ethics Commission referred to Article 43 of the
RA Law on Public Service which does not empower the commission to
launch proceedings against a member of parliament.
However, the referred article is on conflict of interest whereas TI
requested analysis and comparison of declarations.
TI also requested the official stance of the Commission on
entrepreneurship of high-ranking officials, awards of state
procurement contracts to their companies. The commission gave an
avoiding answer, referring to `sufficient clarity'.
TI has also applied to the Ethics Committee of the National Assembly
to recognize as violation of the Member of Parliament's Code of
Conduct Hermineh Naghdalyan's entrepreneurship combined with
legislative activities.
