"Waste of 2.5 million dollars on drainage". Manuk Sukiasyan


The Facebook post of Manuk Sukiasyan, head of the "Mother Armenia" faction of the Yerevan Council of Elders: "Waste of 2.5 million dollars on drainage. Just as the one-day snow revealed the incompetence of the Yerevan authorities and the ability to squander the budget (the snow was mostly cleared naturally: it melted or the cars were cleaned from time to time), so the rain that fell in the capital showed how poorly the CPCs manage and how taxpayers' money is wasted. :

We all have before our eyes the images of Yerevan's streets and underpasses turning into a lake. This indicated that the works related to the drainage system were either poorly done or not done at all. And now let's see how much money was spent in this direction.

2023 We learn from the budget performance report that last year about 1 billion drams, equal to 2.5 million dollars, were spent under the article "Construction of drainage communication networks". It was 89.9 percent of what was planned. In the accounting of the Yerevan Municipality, it is said that these funds were directed to the works of construction of storm drain systems. Addresses are mentioned, but the flood has made the streets impassable at those addresses. In fact, everything is in order with the papers in the municipality, but the streets and underpasses of Yerevan are flooded with water.

Now it is clear, isn't it, what is what and how the money is wasted. "Say we'll do" actually means "Get drunk, let's rob"
