During the meeting of the NKR government on February 26 Prime Minister
Ara Harutiunyan introduced the order of President Bako Sahakyan to
raise the effectiveness of public administration. The president has
instructed to come up with proposals within three months.

For his part, the prime minister instructed the ministers, heads of
regional administrations and persons in charge to present proposals
and visions of renewed public administration.

The prime minister underlined that the public administration is
exaggerated, and it is necessary to optimize it. He also underlined
the too big car pool in public administration. In addition, he noted
that they are often used for personal aims.

Public funds are not merely wasted but misappropriated. The prime
minister who made this statement corrected himself and said as soon
as facts of misappropriation of public funds are revealed, they will
be released.

The head of the government also said that the ministers must finish
work at 8 o’clock and lunch cannot last longer than an hour and a
half. He warned that the punishment for the breach of the schedule
will be severe.
