HRAPARAK: ENORMOUSLY HIGH MATERNITY PAY FOR EX-MINISTER'S SPOUSE
10:12 * 31.10.14
The wife of a former minister of finance is said to have received an
equivalent of $50,000 upon returning to work after pregnancy leave.
The paper describes the enormous amount given to Piruz Sargsyan,
a former financial arbitrator and the spouse of David Sargsyan (who
headed the Ministry of Finance under former Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsyan), as extreme luxury tantamount to theft at the expense of
the ordinary Armenian taxpayers.
Citing the Controls Chamber, the paper notes that its report published
in September considered an overspending the maternity pays given to
employees of several major private companies (GeoProMining, Natalie
Farm, Yerevan Brandy Company etc). The amount, according to the paper,
totaled an equivalent of about $460,000.
"The giants could have paid extravagantly big sums as a salary, but a
financial arbitrator is an official of the Republic of Armenia which,
as we know, is not a rich state to afford giving a social benefit of
20 million Drams to its financial arbitrator," comments the paper.
