The Federation Council and the State Duma do not consider the outdated law on the Accounts Chamber an obstacle to the prompt appointment of its new head

The Federation Council will have no problems with the appointment of a new head of the Accounts Chamber (CA) in the event of the resignation of Alexei Kudrin. About it Vedomosti declared in the State Duma and the Federation Council. The probable problem of RIA Novosti was announced by the first deputy head of the committee of the Federation Council on budget and taxes, Sergei Ivanov, who represents the upper house of parliament in the joint venture. The point is that, in accordance with the new version of the Constitution, the head of the joint venture is appointed and dismissed by the Federation Council, and not by the State Duma, as it was before. However, the corresponding amendments to the law on joint ventures after 2020 were not made.

In response, lawmakers recalled that the Constitution takes precedence over federal laws.

“That’s right, but the Constitution has supremacy and supreme legal force,” Andrei Klishas, ​​head of the Federation Council committee on constitutional legislation, commented on Mr. Ivanov’s position.

“There is no conflict in this case. The Constitution is a document of direct action and its norms, especially those that are not referenced, are applied directly, ”commented Dmitry Vyatkin, member of the State Duma Committee on State Construction, deputy chairman of the United Russia Duma faction.

Earlier today, November 25, TASS, RIA Novosti and Reuters reportedthat the chairman of the joint venture, Alexei Kudrin, may soon take a position at Yandex. Prior to this, The Bell wrote that Mr. Kudrin will meet with President Vladimir Putin to discuss chapter assets of Yandex. The company officially announced the division today.
