ArmInfo.The issue of the candidacy of a new chair of the RA National Assembly the Standing Committee on Financial - Credit, Budgetary Affairs will be resolved by the "Civil Contract" faction. This was announced to journalists on February 26 by the current head of the Committee Gevorg Papoyan, whose candidacy was nominated by the ruling party for the post of Minister of Economy of the Republic of Armenia.
As Papoyan noted, the position of the head of the Committee is no less important than the position of a minister. "Yes, I still had a lot of work to do in parliament, but the political team decided that I should continue my public service as a minister, and I took the decision into account," the MP said. He added that during the meeting of the party board, several candidates were discussed, following which a decision was made, which was adopted. Papoyan has already written a statement about his resignation as an MP. In 7 days we can expect that the current MP will take office as Minister of Economy.
Papoyan noted that for many managers, even slightly above average, working in the government apparatus is not so attractive. "The salary of this manager is equal to the salary of the minister, and for this reason there really is a problem with personnel for the public administration system. We are talking from experts to high positions," the MP noted.
