Prime Minister Edi Rama was today the last witness in the parliamentary commission of inquiry for the abuses in the incinerator plants, where he was asked onthe arrest of former Minister Lefter Koka and the possible connections of government officials with the suspected corruption affair.
According to the prime minister the affair claimed by the democratic opposition “is simply in the head of the initiator of this commission”.
The Prime Minister strongly opposed the claim that the government paid 100 million euros for the Tirana incinerator and denied knowledge of Minister Ahmetaj’s friendly relations with the persons who received the incinerator contracts.
“It is beyond my competence to be informed and to study the friendships of each of you. I am not interested in what others are doing because as I have refused to give an account of what I do in my private life,” said the prime minister.
The commission of inquiry was launched on October 28, 2021, at the request of opposition MPs to shed light on suspicions that senior officials have abused public funds in millions of euros with three urban waste incinerators in Elbasan, Tirana and Fier.
So far in the Commission have testified names of the socialist government, such as Minister Belinda Balluku; Minister Arben Ahmetaj; The General Secretary of the Socialist Party, Damian Gjiknuri and the General Secretary of the Prime Minister, Engjëll Agaçi.
