State Control Committee is urged to play more prominent role in Belarus

       The role of the State Control Committee in the system of Belarusian government agencies should be more prominent. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko made the statement as he heard out a report from Alexander Yakobson, Chairman of the State Control Committee.
Addressing the SCC Chairman Alexander Lukashenko said:

      “I insist on the State Control Committee to play a more prominent role in the system of government agencies. It seems to me that informing the President is good, but the State Control Committee should act more decisively as far as the matters it is responsible for are concerned, and should make relevant decisions. 
       If the Financial Investigations Department finds some drawbacks, you should make decisions. For instance, if you see that something is wrong with the spending of the state budget, you should make decisions. The SCC shouldn’t focus too much on reports, but tackle the issues of excessive organization and red-tape practices”.
