ArmInfo.For the 2018th and 2019 years as a result of inspections of the State Control Service under the Prime Minister of Armenia, 827 million drams were returned to the state budget. "This is a fairly good result for the newly established structure. The scope of work is very large and we will work in order of priority," said Head of the Service David Sanasaryan on February 15 in an interview with journalists.
According to him, the Service has studied in detail the penitentiary system of the republic. Serious problems fixed in the "SUPPORT TO PRISONERS" FOUNDATION. The results of the work are directed by jurisdiction. According to the results of inspections in local government bodies, in particular in the communities of Nor Geghin, Azatamut, Ani, criminal cases were initiated.
Detailed studies have been carried out in water user societies that provide farm irrigation water. The organizations, as it turned out, collected money for water supply from the villagers, but they did not get into the treasury. The leaders of the companies admitted to the deed. Until March 15, the results of research on this topic will be presented and a corresponding assessment will be given.
The state control continues checks in state universities of Armenia. The former management of the Agrarian University has fully restored the damage to the state budget in the amount of 350 million drams. Researching at the State Medical University after M. Heratsi will finish at the end of March, but, as Sanasaryan pointed out, there are already certain results.
According to Sanasaryan, the volume of information being verified, as well as funds allocated from the state budget of universities, including medical, is very large.
Earlier it was reported that in Yerevan State University abuses were estimated at 800 million drams. This result of checks caused a stormy reaction of the university administration, who threatened to sue the head of the service. Sanasaryan noted that he is ready for such a development of the situation. "We are not violated procedures and acted within the law. Legal assessment of violations will be given by law enforcement agencies, "he stressed.
In addition, the State Service is monitoring the scope of public procurement. Already identified violations in terms of technical characteristics of objects of purchase. So, in the descriptions are often specified specifications, designed for one specific supplier to suppliers of goods or services. During this period, dozens of purchases were simply suspended or changed their technical characteristics. According to the head of the State Service, the regional administrations, bodies subordinated to the Ministries of Agriculture and Health, Territorial Administration and Development, energy infrastructures and natural resources, the Committee of State Revenues "distinguished themselves" by filling in the "discriminatory characteristics". "I will not argue that there is intent in the revealed violations. This is a legislative gap that we will correct," he explained. In general, as pointed out by David Sanasaryan, the task of the structure headed by him is not only to identify violations and restore budget funds, but also to prevent them.
