“The Lori Province is the second province of the Republic of Armenia known for its high level of poverty and unemployment, but the governor continues the condemnable process of self-rewarding. The governor has rewarded himself with nearly AMD 500,000 for his “titanic” work that nobody knows about. It is known that the man is building a new and costly clinic, and he has to scrape the money he spent from somewhere, and in this case, it is the money of taxpayers,” the Facebook post reads.
By an executive order dated 12 April, Governor of Lori Province Andrey Ghukasyan rewarded himself and the administration of the regional governor’s office once again. According to the executive order, the governor, the advisors and assistants to the governor, the deputy secretary general of the regional governor’s office, the heads of departments and the employees of the internal audit division shall be rewarded for faithfully performing special tasks and employment duties in the first quarter of the year 2019.
