DUSHANBE, June 9, 2011, Asia-Plus — The fifth session of the Majlisi Milli (Tajikistan’s upper house of parliament) that took place on June 9 seconded the law “On the Chamber of Accounts of the Republic of Tajikistan.”
Member of the Majlisi Milli Matloubkhon Davlatov, who is also head of President’s Executive Office, noted that after the establishment of the Chamber of Accounts, the Agency for State Financial Control and Combating Corruption would not be dissolved. “Moreover, no one of the Agency’s functions will be transferred to the Chamber of Accounts,” he stressed.
According to him, the Chamber of Accounts will be engaged in controlling use of budgetary funds and implementation of the national programs in different fields.
“As one of authors of the law, I may say that employees of the Chamber of Accounts will have a very high immunity in a form of high salaries and large powers, because they are subordinate to nobody, except law,” Davlatov said.
He noted that the Chamber of Accounts would have small personnel. “There will be only seven auditors who will be elected by the Majlisi Namoyandagon (Tajikistan’s lower chamber of parliament) upon the recommendation of the President.”
