The Draft Anti-Corruption Strategy should be “radically changed”

Ms Mariam Zadoyan, Advocate, Anti-Corruption Expert at the Armenian Lawyers’ Association in the interview with Mediamax.am talked about the New Draft RA Anti-Corruption Strategy and Action Plan for its implementation in 2019-2022.

According to her, the document needs radical changes, in particular:

  • it is necessary to create a universal independent anti-corruption body,
  • introduce effective mechanisms for identifying the beneficial owners,
  • improve the system of declaration of property and income of the officials;
  • provide for effective mechanisms for the protection of whistleblowers.

On the positive side, Mariam Zadoyan highlighted the provision of a relevant anti-corruption compliance program as a positive side of the draft.
