TIRANA, April 14 – Former MP of the Socialist Party (SP), Alqi Bllako gave his testimony on Thursday in the prosecution authority for serious crimes, SPAK rejecting the charges leveled against him regarding the incinerators scheme.
Asked by prosecutors about the charges, he said he was innocent and had no decision-making role. Bllako said that he only forwarded the letter to the Council of Ministers for approval.
Edi Rama has been the head of the government since 2013, but he has declared that he was no aware of the scandal and any corruption affair is ‘indidual ‘. Many raise the question if a half a billion project could be adopted without the approval of the premier.
On the issue of land expropriation at the site where the incinerator would be built, Bllako told SPAK that he had no decision-making function.
According to him, the procedure was carried out and followed by the commission set up for this issue in the Ministry of Environment at the time when he was secretary general in this institution.
“I had the task only to forward the documents to the Council of Ministers for approval,” said the former MP.
Bllako also answered the prosecutor’s questions about the appointment of his father in a fictitious incinerator in Tirana. ‘The father’s employment contract was not signed by Klodian Zoto, but by the Italian administrator. My father terminated his employment contract several months before the signing of the agreement for the incinerator in Fier,” said Bllako./Argumentum.al
