Large abuses- with resorts (video)
There are gaps in the procedures of social packages, which have come forward over time and time is needed to correct them. After the Government session during the briefing with journalists Chairman of the Civil Service Council Manvel Badalyan touched upon the temporary suspension of vacation component in the social packages and noted that he is mainly concerned about the factor of state sector employees. As for the abuses, Mr Badalyan noted, “The civilians, likely including, I regret to say, civil servants, came to false agreements with the resorts, not spending their holidays in reality and financial transfers were made to those resorts.” According to his information, those abuses are of large volumes and as those social packages are formed with state means, waste of those means should be prohibited, “I think this will be a short-term suspension and that issue will be solved operatively, as the law-abiding citizens shouldn’t be affected.” Mr Badalyan doesn’t share the viewpoint that there is short of money in the budget and that’s why this optimization is carried out, “Those funds are intended by the budget, and anyway those funds are allocated. I repeat, waste shouldn’t be allowed here. In order not to struggle against the windmills uselessly, we now suspend so that we can fill those gaps.” By the way, he added that neither Prime Minister, ministers, nor officials, including him, use those social packages.
