New Chair Digs into Alleged Abuses of Former Bulgarian Parliament
The Chair of Bulgaria's Parliament, Tsetska Tsacheva announced Tuesday that two pre-court inspections were investigating the public procurement deals of the 40th National Assembly, i.e. the former Parliament.
The investigations are in progress at the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office, and are focusing on inspecting the activities of some of the top-level employees at the Parliament administration.
The prosecutors are going to investigate why the Parliament paid almost 300 000 for the upcoming installation of two elevators, and if the repairs of the Parliament-owned apartments in Sofia did in fact cost BGN 800 000.
Last week Tsacheva received the resignation of the Parliament Secretary, Ognyan Avramov, over the housing issues with the property of the Parliament, and "unsound arguments for his actions".
A working group of the GERB party has expected the car services of the Parliament, and found that before June 1, 2009, the former MPs spent a total of BGN 334 000 on business trips around the country while they were not supposed to spend more than BGN 40 000; some of the drivers are found to have worked over 600 hours overtime for 2008, and some of the car that were bought at the end of 2006, have traveled over 300 000 km.
