Stepashin intends to "burn out evil spirits" in the ranks of the employees of the Accounts Chamber

The struggle against corruption, the beginning of which the May resignations in the power structures laid, will affect the counting chamber. This was in an interview with the "independent newspaper" by Sergey Stepashin.

He stated that he was going to restore order in the department controlled by him. “We will burn out evil spirits in our ranks. And you will find out about the first results soon,” Stepashin said.

Stepashin immediately stated that he unknown the reasons for the recent resignation of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Vladimir Ustinov. “This is not my question. The main thing is that the Accounts Chamber and Prosecutor General’s Office built a fairly clear, working system of interaction. I hope that with the new general prosecutor it will not fail,” Stepashin said.

Stepashin, in the past, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, answered the question of how, in his opinion, one can defeat corruption in the police. "My people also resigned, we just talked about it less. The sanitation of law enforcement agencies should be carried out tough, but it is better to talk about it better. It beats the prestige of law enforcement agencies," Stepashin said.

He also said that "there should be no competition in the checks, but there should be uniform rules and a single organization of work." “We often go one after another, sometimes work at the same time at the same facility. And many organizations just groaned - some have gone, others have come in. Some companies have created special structures, allocated premises and money to“ work ”with controllers. I proposed to create a unified financial control system in the country. But the Ministry of Finance said that they don’t need this, and everything is in order, when there are different rules and approaches, you can always find a loophole” - - The head of the Accounts Chamber said.

The head of the Accounts Chamber believes that in Russia it is necessary to legally prohibit the occupation of high positions in state structures for children of large government officials. “This was discussed at the dawn of the New Russia in 1991, when I was a deputy of the Supreme Council. There are other restrictions in many countries. If one of the auditors or controllers checked one or another structure, he has no right to go there after dismissal. I already watched as one of the former auditors of the Accounts Chamber for a long time checked one private company, called himself a fighter with corruption, then he was fired and was already sitting there. I will not name the surname - those who know, and so, agree that a certain regulator is needed, all the more today, what is a sin, the government gets good - more than 3 thousand dollars, and even with different allowances, ”Stepashin said.

He also spoke about the reaction of the President of Belarus Lukashenko to a recent increase in gas price. "I told Alexander Grigoryevich: if Russia and Belarus are a single state, then the gas price will be different," Stepashin said.

“He understands everything perfectly. But he has his own counterarguments. Gazprom is ready to actively participate in the privatization of“ Beltransgaz ”. Alexander Grigoryevich says - we do not mind, but give us the opportunity to access deposits in Russia. We have money for this. Why can British companies get such access, and we cannot? I think this is a very difficult process, and we must understand that now we must understand that it should be understood, and we must understand that it should be understood that Belarus is not the same for the 5-6 years ago. There is some time to get rid of it.

The head of the Accounts Chamber believes that the problems of 2008 do not exist, and Putin will remain a national leader after his presidency. At the same time, Stepashin said that, in his opinion, "the parliament of our country was parliament, not a branch of the executive branch." “I believe that the parliament should be more tolerant, more seriously opposing the executive branch, there should be more interesting political figures. Of course, it is not necessary to bring to the 1993 situation. But our parliament should be more like parliament in the UK, in France, in the United States,” Stepashin believes.
