How can we still inform the corruption facts to punish thieves?
Today contact.az has published an article of Kamal Ali the following content:
“The Audit Chamber, if wish, enable to find abuses of corruption in any Azerbaijani state institution. There is no one, in operation of which the citizens would have sent complaints, and journalists prepared exposing publications. There is no case of conducting the investigative actions, at least formal inspection due to publications in mass-media.
The author of the article wrote about the fact how employees of the Department for landscaping plants and their protection of the Executive authorities of Baku had refused to cut down and took away dry old trees, which had threatened to life of the citizens in the capital, on address-Narimanov Street, 5, and being came they had extorted money of habitants. There was sent a written complaint in virtual window for reception of complaints in an official site President.az But, nobody was punished for obvious extortion, there was no even official response. Then, why do they receive the complaints of citizens?
In 2011 President signed a decree on cancellation of the permits for construction of private 1-2 storey houses. The citizens were rejoiced, saying that now it is enough to send only a letter of notification to the local authorities together with a house project, and wait for the response with agreement to build, if the project is normal. This decree has remained on the paper. The system, which acceptance has been thought up as a blow on bribery in the local bodies of executive authorities, does not work. Contact.az repeatedly informed about it, in one of the last publications it has been given the names of two citizens, who concerning this issue had applied with complaints to the Apparatus of the President. Complaint concerned an open extortion of money in Districts Executive authorities. There has nothing been changed. Not being received bribes, the Executive authorities of the Districts do not permit to build, referring to mythical obstacles: absence of utility services or congestion of available…”
A former journalist Emin Mahmudov says about an incredible cars’ queue, which stand by under the scorching sun in front of the station of a car technical condition testing station under the State traffic police (STP). “Today they have holiday of the heart and purse”, hints he on an openly practiced in the STP an order passing technical testing, when through exit gates are going obvious waste cars, to which we wonder in Baku. Have you seen old “Volga Gaz-24” that re-equipped in pickup for transportation of scrap metal? The rusty auto-skeleton on the wheels, tied with wire. Have these killers passed the technical testing? If no, why are not they taken off the roads with the STP evacuation service? Contact.az has also written about it, and again uselessly.
In the court over hardened criminal Chovdarov, who racketeering in Colonel’s shoulder straps of MNS. The latter disclosed the details of the monstrous crimes of the former ministers of MNS Eldar Mahmudov and communication Ali Abbasov. Nothing happened. These comrades safely watch TV in their multi-stored villas that were built on dirty money. Even a bird does not fly over them being feared to disturb repose of the retired members of the government. However, in arrest in Georgia and secret delivering in Azerbaijan of the journalist Afgan Mukhtaly our state spent budget funds and disgraced itself, though for all his life this guy did not appropriate a millionth share of those funds that were eaten by sweet couple Mahmudov-Abbasov.
Analysts of S&P have considered an ineffective the monetary and credit policy, conducted by the authorities of Azerbaijan, being noted a weak capacity of the Central Bank “to impact on situation”. By other words, our banks survive with difficult; there is no real bank activity as a guarantor of economic development in Azerbaijan.
Who only from the opposition did not beat the alarm bells, shaking with figures and citations, and many mass-media informed about it! But bankers-thieves were arrested only after open crash of the bank system.
“The most serious blow on our bank system was inflicted in the middle of 90-s, when HSBC bank was closed in Baku, and made a decision not to allow any western bank in Azerbaijan. Over time our banks transferred in the images of state structures: with the same money kickbacks, bribes and stealing. The way out of the bank crisis is one, to allow in the market without any terms the banks on rating from top 100”, – an expert Allahverdi Mammadov believes.
Everything falls except for unexpectedly developing tourism. But, it is not stopped non-productive state expenses, about which so much and with anxiety warned an economist Gubad Ibadoglu. It is not enough us reconstruction of Vatican catacombs and construction of kindergartens in Russia (for which Putin “thanked” with murder for the last days of two Azerbaijani officers in Karabakh), so it is still happily reported that in 2018 in Kislovodsk it will begun a reconstruction of soviet sanatoria “Academichesky”. Why do this to us?
According to an economist Natig Jafarly, it is infinitely repaired the Baku-Shamaha road, as the repair of the roads is a most suitable way to appropriate money.
He shared with opinion concerning the reason of stagnation in Azerbaijani economy and growth of corruption. He compared with Georgia, which has no road map, state programme and structures on fight against corruption, state does not spend gigantic funds to purchase combine- harvester and preparation of the cotton fields. But, only for sale of peaches the country received for half year in sum of 2.2 million dollars, being increased a profit of this fruit into 44% in comparison with the same period of 2016. It is explained the fact that Georgia entered in the WTO, fulfills the requirements of this international organization, there is healthy competition, honest courts in the country, therefore business is free.
Free competition + fair trial + independent press = economic development, – suggests survival formulae N. Jafarov.
Contact.az writes on the facts of corruption, stealing and extortion, but in leadership of our country does not take attention our journalists?”
