The Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry for Urban Waste Treatment Plants held its next session on Tuesday with the questioning of witnesses, and the next summoned to the Commission was Engjëll Agaci, Secretary General of the Council of Ministers.
Asked if he knew the citizens Klodian Zoto, Mirel Mertiri and Stela Gugallja, who are the main persons involved in the corrupt scheme, Agaci said that he did not know them and had never met them.
Answering what measures he took after learning the procedure of the negotiation without announcement for the concession of the Elbasan plant in the letter that the then Minister of Environment, Lefter Koka had addressed to the head of PPA, Agaci said that a lot of mud was thrown on this letter in the media, but in fact what results with facts is the writings and in the acts. “It has been unfairly said that regarding this opinion of the Public Procurement Agency and following the procedures, the Council of Ministers has approved a decision to authorize the procedures. This is not true,” he said.
According to him, the government has never approved the bill in question. He confirmed once again that this act has never been proposed for consideration in the government and of course it has never been approved by it and there is no such government decision.
“It’s very simple to verify. Government decisions have a procedure that is regulated by the organic law of functioning and organization of the Council of Ministers and of course after approval all decisions are published in the Official Gazette and anyone is free and have access to that system to verify a falsehood that is said for months and above all on the Secretary General of the Council of Ministers,” said Agaci. / Argumentum.al
