The most important is the political order - Naira Zohrabyan (video)
During the parliamentary debates on the amendments to the Law on Remuneration of Individuals holding Public Offices, Head of the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) faction, Naira Zohrabyan, said ‘although the proposed changes are technical, there is a deep "underlying problem.’ “We have seen that if a person has a ‘back’ he remains in office, otherwise the ministry he heads is dissolved and becomes a committee. We have seen next attempt of ‘sewing’ by the government where the most important is not the quality but the quantity. The coalition government formed by the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) and Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) has shown that it does not matter whether the person is a champion in swimming; the most important is the political order. This time they did not issue an order, they simply said everything should be the way we say,” the lawmaker said in hers speech. Then she asked a rhetorical question: why don’t the authorities want to restore justice and refuse to pay 10 percent bonuses to the employees of the State Revenue Committee (SRC)? “The draft has vicious philosophy in it; everything is done for political expediency. The legislature will endorse the next sewing by the government… Mr. Mirumyan, the draft you have submitted is technical but there is no guarantee that the next government will not decide to merge or dissolve ministries…” she said.
