Addressing the gathering, Tigran Sargsyan stated in part: “First of all, the new system will help enhance efficiency and productivity in government activities providing for transparency and proper control on the part of society which will get access to public governance. On the one hand, they will be allowed to keep track of decision-making processes and on the other hand, they will have a possibility to follow up and check the status of their letters, petitions, applications, licensing requests at any stage of processing.”
The Prime Minister pointed out that the new system will prove useful only if our citizens learn to handle it properly.
Going into the details of this newly introduced Mulberry system of e-governance, Chief of Government Staff David Sargsyan said in particular: “Transition toward the system of e-governance implies providing online public services minimizing the need for direct public servant-citizen contacts and reducing corruption risks considerably.”
