EVERYONE CAN BECOME CORRUPT
Support A1+!“Corruption is the wrong solution of Governmental problems. There is a wrong opinion about corruption risks. Some think they will be eliminated alongside with the solution of social problems. In fact, any change, any new mechanism brings new corruption risks eliminating the previous ones”, said head of the program “Support for Informational Society and Democratic Governing” Vahan Asatryan.
The civic society anti-corruption regional groups created in 8 regions of Armenia have already passed a 2-phase training in order to investigate the progress and effectiveness of the anti-corruption initiatives in the health and education fields.
“Our aim is not the eliminating of separate cases. As a result of the monitoring they must understand the reasons of the system which result in corruption. They must process offers which will be represented to the Government. Monitoring is the softest type of control”, commented Vahan Asatryan.
He also claimed that if there is no control over the person who takes care of public resources, even the most honest person can be subject to corruption risks.
According to Vahan Asatryan, the civic anti-corruption monitoring groups have been formed by competition.
At the end of the press conference the 15 members of the anti-corruption regional groups were given certificates.
