Fatmir Xhafaj pressures the Albanian Supreme Audit Office, threatens with inspections
The revelations of the Supreme State Audit Office have enraged Edi Rama. The Supreme State Audit Office is the only body that is not stopping in the face of pressure, and this has led Rama to launch an attack on his entire party, attempting to blackmail the mayor along with the auditors.
Today Arben Shehu reported to the Parliament, showing that there are abuses everywhere. However, this was not swallowed by the socialists and Edi Rama launched an attack on his own son, Fatmir Xhafa. After throwing him out as a minister and trying to remove him from Parliament, Rama has brought him closer again and uses him whenever he needs to.
Xhafaj thinks he knows better than everyone and only attacks and anathematizes from the rostrum of the Parliament. Even though the Supreme Audit Office has violations in black and white, for Fatmir Xhafaj the problem is this institution itself. He tried to find problems in the Supreme Audit Office, while threatening that there should be control over this body.
" Rightly, in the draft resolution submitted for approval, a clear definition of the concept of effective financial damage, I emphasize, effective financial damage, and the completion of the integration of the methodology for assessing damages in accordance with the principles of INTOSAI have been repeatedly requested. This is necessary, especially in the context of the misuse of figures used by the SAI audits, as happened here in this room today. If we are looking for a much more efficient institution in the exercise of its responsibilities, it is equally important to be equally attentive to the performance of the institution itself. The allegations raised regarding the deadlines that apply to the sending of draft reports to the audited entities and those related to the approval and sending of draft decisions and sending of the final report to the audited entity remain worrying for the SAI institution, in the context of the fact that there are several reports of unjustified extensions beyond the legal deadlines of certain audits and the extension of the approved time of the final reports ," said Xhafaj.
Although without any kind of competence, Fatmir Xhafaj went so far as to question the integrity of the auditors of the Supreme Audit Office. Fatmir himself should know that the best experts in the fields work in this body. But the fact that they are endlessly finding violations, seems to Xhafaj that they are incompetent.
" Also, in my judgment, the issues of integrity and ethics of employees, and especially of auditors in the exercise of their duties, remain a priority, as well as for more efficiency, transparency and professionalism in the controlling role of the SAI. Today, the example of an SAI employee was abused here, which is not true at all ," he said.
And the final threat came at the end. Fatmir Xhafaj has been given the leadership of the commission, which for the sake of truth is not clear what role he has. But Xhafaj seems to be giving himself the authority to go so far as to audit the SAI itself.
" The Supreme State Audit Office does not audit persons, nor functions, but institutions. And this is a matter of principle. The Assembly has direct constitutional and legal responsibility for the supervision of this institution. The establishment of the subcommittee for public sector audit within the Economy Committee will be a necessary mechanism to increase the accountability of the SAI and to positively answer the fundamental question of any control system: who controls the controller? The Committee on Civic Initiatives, Cooperation and Institutional Oversight will also consider as a priority the monitoring of the implementation of the recommendations that this session will adopt for the Supreme State Audit Office, in order to increase the effectiveness in accountability, but also in the good governance of public funds ", he said.
So it seems that the majority continues to blackmail the head of the SAI, trying to keep him under pressure. Shehu himself, during his report to the Finance Committee, made it clear that he is not afraid and even requested the powers to audit the prime minister himself. / Pamphlet
