President Sargsyan chides Control Chamber chairman over ?wrong and shortsighted? statements

President Serzh Sargsyan expressed his critical assessment of the work of several officials as he hosted consultations on budgetary management and control over the implementation of state programs on Saturday.

In remarks reported by his press service, Sargsyan expressed his discontent with some of the public statements made by Control Chamber Chairman Ishkhan Zakaryan recently, which he said were ?wrong and shortsighted?.

?Whether you are disappointed or enthused is your personal matter. You can talk about it at home or when you come to my office. What right does the chairman of the Control Chamber has to make such public statements?? said Sargsyan, addressing Zakaryan. ?An official must be accountable for his statements.?

The president was, in particular, unhappy about Zakaryan?s implication that 70 percent of the country?s state budget was exposed to corruption risks. Such allegations, he said, create a wrong impression among the public.

Turning to Prosecutor-General Aghvan Hovsepyan, President Sargsyan said that instead of telephoning Zakaryan on that, all he needed to do was to go over the report and issue a public statement in that regard.

He also said that regardless of whether the Control Chamber report was submitted to the Prosecutor-General?s office or not, prosecutors should have looked into it and given their legal assessment.

In his words addressed to Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, the president advised that issues raised in the report should be discussed by heads of governmental departments ?quickly, openly and transparently.?

?Whenever there are difficulties in establishing the nature of the problem, whether it is a criminal or purely organizational one, quickly forward it to corresponding bodies. This will be your best answer to criticism,? said President Serzh Sargsyan.
