Tehran, YJC. Lawmaker says that in the past days Ahmadinejad has made a spree of awards and decorations given to diverse figures with no justification.
On
June 12 Mahmoud Ahmadinejad decorated 11 of his colleagues with governmental
medals and recognitions, each including monetary awards of 30 to 100 gold
coins, Mehr News Agency reports.
The
Lawmaker Masoud Pezeshkian said in an interview "Ahmadinejad does not make
sense.”
He added
"Giving medals gratuitously to people who have only increased expenditures is
wrong. It must be seen how these people were evaluated.”
Pezeshkian
asserted "Logically, medals are given to someone who has done a great job or
has done better than others.”
The
Tabriz representative in the Majlis said "Everyone is stuck with what the President
does. We have to wait for this term to end. He used to spend like that during
his administration, and now this is again the same as before, another
governmental expenditure. I have no idea how Ahmadinejad’s actions could be justified.”
Ahmadinejad
had said in the above-mentioned meeting with ministers and top officials of the
Executive branch "The government intends in the remaining 51 days to thank all
those who have tried and made sacrifices at top levels of the Executive branch.”
