Yesterday we informed that on the regular session of the Government the issue of allocating funds to the Special Investigation Service of the RA. Gagik Khachatryan, the RA Minister of Justice should present the draft. It foresees to allocate of 16 million 537 thousand 600 AMD to the Special Investigation Service from the Government’s reserve funds according to the article on economic classification of budget spending, “Salaries and Bonuses of Employees”.
“In the current situation the investigators of the Service are forced to work at least 6 days a week, from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM and even longer. In order to keep up the efficiency of investigations, as well as not to miss the deadlines specified in the legislation, the investigators of the Service come to work even on holidays. The investigators of the Service are not paid for the overtime work, as described above. Thus, the additional 7 vacancies will help to decrease the investigators’ workload and create sufficient conditions to ensure smooth operation of the Service,” says the draft decision.
The issue was removed from the agenda of today’s Government Session. It is due to mention that Vahram Shahinyan, the Head of Special Investigation Service of the RA did not attend today’s session. One of his deputies, Vladimir Hovhannisyan came instead.
