You are claiming for position you are not competent for: Bright Armenia MP to candidate for the post of head of State Commission for Protection of Economic Competition

The Armenian National Assembly is discussing candidacy of Gegham Gevorgyan in the post of the chairman of the RA State Commission for Protection of Economic Competition Gegham Gevorgyan.

Addressing the candidate, lawmaker from Bright Armenia faction Ani Samsonyan stressed that the candidate speaks quite impressive and raises wish to see him in the post but forgets that before appearing here he had a path which people study to see whether he corresponds to the post or not.

“In 2016-2018 you were director of implementation of agricultural programs, then a founding director and during that period control chamber has submitted a report which clearly says that the program of implementation acted ineffectively, failing to ensure the implementation of works set for 2017. You are speaking about improvement of competition, elimination of unfair competition, but you forget that you were in the sector and what you are telling us now, you did not do that,” Samsonyan claimed.

She noted that the Control Chamber points low participation in the competitions which may also be testified with the participation of the same or inter-connected companies.

“I have read the full part of the report relating to you. Many issues show that you are far from ensuring fair economic competitions while now you claim for the post you are not competent for,” Samsonyan said.

In response Gevorgyan asked to clarify the period of time when inter-connected companies participated in the competition, stressing that it was not during his tenure.

“If you view the period after I assumed the post, you will see how many companies appeared in the competitions,” he said.
