Serious abuses in implementation of justice system improvement program,
which received a credit from World Bank, have been mentioned in the
National Assembly Control Chamber report.
Amount of more than 4 million USD was allocated for the repairs of
20 court houses. Only 9 of them were repaired.
The report prompted Justice Minister David Harutyunyan’s discontent. He
is unhappy about the fact that increase in building materials prices
hasn’t been taken into account in the report.
He called the report as a populist one.
Responding to that, National Assembly Speaker Arthur Baghdasaryan said:
“We shouldn’t plunge in impunity. Abuses were disclosed and those
forged papers must stand trial”.
