YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 11, NOYAN TAPAN. The report of the chairman of
the Control Chamber Ishkhan Zakarian on the efficiency of spending
state budgetary allocations in several sectors was discussed at the
September 11 working consultation held by Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan with the participation of Armenian prime minister and the
head of the RA presidential supervisory service.

I. Zakarian presented the results of checks made at the RA ministry
of urban development, the RA ministry of agriculture, the regional
administration and communities of Syunik marz, and at the World
Bank-financed City Heating Program’s Implementation Office. He said
the checks revealed numerous shortcomings and upward distortions,
as a result of which considerable damage was done to the state.

NT was informed by the RA presidential press service that considering
this working style as unacceptable, S. Sargsyan said that those guilty
must be punished and the state must be indemnified for losses. "I want
all of you to know that state resources will be under a magnifier,
and those who are found to do unfair activity will be held accountable
with serious consequences," the president underlined.

S. Sargsyan gave instructions to the respective bodies, demanding that
a definite schedule be presented and then implemented consistently.
