The head of the parliamentary group, Gazment Bardhi, clashed sharply today with the head of the Economy Commission, Eduard Shalesi, at the Conference of Chairmen regarding the law that the SP has proposed for the Supreme State Audit.
The Democrat said that the postponement of the report of the High State Control is being done with the aim of blackmailing the head of the National Audit Office, Arben Shehu, for personal reasons.
"It is unprecedented to postpone the report. You are using this to blackmail the head of KLSH. This is happening for personal interests and it is unacceptable," said Bardhi.
Likewise, Bardhi requested that the issue of EU IPARD funds being blocked for farmers be treated as a priority, adding that "they are blocked due to government corruption and abuse".
The Assembly has proposed the establishment of a new parliamentary structure within the Committee for Economy and Finance to capture the Supreme State Control, the highest institution of economic and financial control.
The draft decision on the establishment of the subcommittee "On Public Sector Auditing" announces as its main goal the implementation of the state budget and increasing the impact of audit processes in order to increase transparency and accountability in the use of resources, but the main area of its work will be be "the report of the KLSH to the Assembly".
The foreseen competences of the subcommittee will focus on the reports of the government and the HSC on the implementation of the state budget, the review of the audit reports of the HSC, the follow-up of the implementation of recommendations and the reporting of findings, but also the control of the use of finances public from this institution itself.
In this context, the accounts of KLSH will be audited by this parliamentary structure through external auditors contracted by it.
The subcommittee will be run in a bipartisan manner with co-chairmen of the majority and the opposition, while there are 5 members in the composition, where the SP has the majority.
The subcommittee consists of 5 members: Emilja Koliqi, DP chairperson, Enslemvera Zake, SP deputy chairperson, Alban Xhelili, SP member, Pranvera Resulaj, SP member, Sorina Kote, DP member. The substitute members are: Antoneta Dhima- SP, Edmond Spaho- PD.
Although opposition MPs in the Economy Committee have supported the proposal, they expressed distrust in the majority's intentions and raised questions about attempts to control this independent institution.
In the report on the performance of the government in the implementation of the budget for 2023, the HLSH found an economic damage of 72.3 billion lek due to the mismanagement of public funds and legal violations committed by the state and local administration during 2023.
The reports from KLSH have long stressed the head of the Economy Commission, Eduard Shalsi, who is personally committed to the establishment of the parliamentary structure to control the work of the Supreme State Audit Office.
