DECEASED GET PENSIONS? - CONTROL CHAMBER
Tert.am
21.03.11
Recent inspections by the Control Chamber of Armenia have found the
State Social Security Service responsible for abusing authority,
particularly registering the pensions of deceased individuals and
causing a great harm to the state budget.
The head of the chamber, Iskhan Zakaryan introduced the results of
the inspections at the parliament's Monday session, saying that their
activities are still under way.
As he told the MPs, the former head of the service, Vazgen Khachikyan,
was fired from office for the violations observed.
Earlier, Minister of Labor and Social Issues Arthur Grigoryan told
Tert.am that Khachikyan had been dismissed as per resignation notice.
Grigoryan who was present at the parliament meeting left the session
hall in the middle of Zakaryan's speech.
Asked whether the chamber would submit the inspection results to
the Prosecutor General's Office, Zakaryan said such act would become
possible after the documents are confirmed.
"Only the materials confirmed by the Control Chamber board are
submitted to the Prosecutor General's Office. We haven't so far made
any decision in that regard. Though we have observed criminal and
legal violations, we still have time until June to clarify definitely
what really happened," he said.
