Justice Minister: Ethics Commission powers to be enhanced
The government program has a big focus on anti-corruption measures, Armenian Minister of Justice Hovhannes Manukyan said during a briefing on Tuesday, adding that the program suggests interesting ideas.
“In particular, to enhance the powers of the Ethics Commission of High Ranking Officials in making decisions and reacting in the respective situations. The matter concerns conflict of interests and unjustified increase of wealth,” the Minister noted.
