The budget of the capital increased three times compared to 2018, but the efficiency of city management did not increase in the same proportion." Arman Abubian, author of the "Time of Abubian" podcast, interviews Aram Torosyan, a member of the Yerevan Council of Elders. "I am not satisfied with the sharp increase in the salary of the top authorities in the city, the salary of the deputy mayors and the mayor. Is the city managed 3 times more efficiently? Of course not. The transportation problem got complicated, the metro was not built yet, while at that time the process had already started," Torosyan said. The head of the opposition faction clarifies that they do not claim that no work is being done, but note that the efficiency is low compared to the existing opportunities. "We're not saying that things aren't being done, we're saying that you're doing things less efficiently given your abilities... Low KPI, your salary should not increase. Torosyan proposes to make the work of a member of the Council of Elders professional, following the example of the deputies of the National Assembly. "The council member will deal with the municipality's issues. There will be 35 members of the Council of Elders, unlike me, working everywhere, trying everywhere, you don't achieve the required effectiveness." All Call |: 106.0FM.
