YEREVAN, May 12. /ARKA/. On Thursday, Ishkhan Zakaryan, head of Armenia’s Control Chamber, presenting the 2010 activity report to members of the National Assembly, pointed out some progress Armenian communities have reached for recent years.
“There are also areas where no progress is seen, but positive changes are visible in communities, since many irregularities there have been caused by unawareness of the law,” he said.
He singled out transition to cashless payments among achievements and said that this transition has lessened corruption risks.
Speaking about inspections conducted in 2010, Zakaryan said that they had revealed ineffective and purposeless spending of communities’ budgets, unjustified increase in prices for construction and shoddy building as well as faults related to property tax payment and usage of natural resources.
“Unrealistic calculations in forming budgets and absence of many objects from lists were found out in almost all the communities,” he said.
Speaking about social area, the head of the chamber said that things are desperate here.
In particular, lists of social beneficiaries are inaccurate – there are many dead people in them. There are also people living abroad for ling years.
Zakaryan said that provision of medical conclusions to disabled people as well as the work of social services of the Labor and Social Welfare Ministry, Yerevan Municipality and provincial administrations would be under intense scrutiny.
The control chamber has also found out numerous faults in procedures of alienation of buildings and compounds of preschool establishments as well as problems in science and education segments.
Faults have been found also in development of mines.
Certain faults have been revealed in spending of loans.
There are some legislative obstacles are among major problems here. The thing is that the law on banking secret gives room for hiding some information. That is why the chamber has access to incomplete information.
Zakaryan said that the results of the inspections have been sent to the Prosecutor General’s Office.-0—
