MPs vote for limiting compensations for state company directors

The lawmakers of the ruling alliance passed a bill that limits the compensations paid when the directors of state-run companies are fired to three average monthly salaries. The bill was put forward by the Liberal Party (PL), Info-Prim Neo reports. The initiative’s author Valeriu Munteanu said the bill is a measure aimed at preventing the abuses committed by civil servants. “An example of legal abuse is the individual work contract signed with the director general of SA Tutun – CTC, in which the state owns over 90% of the shares. Under the contract, when the director of the company is dismissed, he receives a compensation of 5 million lei,” said the lawmaker. In Moldova, there are about 1,500 state-run companies and municipal enterprises. Besides, there are companies in which the state has significant holdings.
