(9 years ago)Members of the Kosovo Intelligence Agency's Commission for Supervision have gathered today to meet with the governing staff of this important organisation for the country. But the meeting is canceled. This is because the director of AKI Driton Gashi three minutes before the meeting began has announced he cannot be present at the [...] meeting.
This is because AKI Director Driton Gashi three minutes before the meeting began has announced he cannot be present at the Commission meeting.
After Gashi did not show up, then the gathering of the Commission for AKI Supervisor has been cancelled.
The acting of the director of AKI Commission head Donika Kadaj-Bujupi has called it legal, as she said the report by the AKI director is envisioned and by law and the Constitution.
It was an illegal act by the director of AKI, who only three minutes before the Commission started, announced to us that he would not participate in the connoisseur meeting, which is provided by constitution and by law. The act is neglect and disrespect of the Assembly, but which is even more disturbing is a lack of respect for the law. That's why we're going to call him back in reporting like he's brought in by law, but that's not a good sign and it's not a good start for an institution that's of particular importance to our country. And for a Commission that exceeds narrow political and party differences is very professional, and in which by law and constitutional, senior AKI officials are obliged to report to regular foundations”, Cadaj-Bujupi said.
She said that from AKI, today they had come to the Commission, deputy director and inspector, which, according to her, was the first meeting.
“was the deputy and inspector. But we've invited him to this meeting and confirmed it's as promised by law to be the director of AKI who, as I said, only 3 minutes before the meeting was held, informed us that he would not attend. The parliamentary commission is obliged by law and by regulations of the Parliament and Constitution to oversee the work of AKI, and this meeting was the first meeting in the continuation of our commitments and implementation of our constitutional mandate in order to have a real co-operation with the “Agency, Cadaj Bujupi said.
She said today the director of AKI has given no reason for his absence at the meeting. But she said they'd call you back in the report.
Otherwise, the Parliamentary Commission is at the beginning of its mandate, which the mandate stems from the decision by the plenary session of the 03th, 2017th. In this regard, on the basis of the deposits of the Kosovo Constitution, the regulation of the Parliamentary Assembly and Practice, the new Kosovo Assembly legislature is not the continuation of the past legislature, but it is the new composition and the mandate of the Parliament begins from the constructive meeting, which is held within thirty days from the official day of the election results.
In this respect, the parliamentary Commission has sought to have a familiar meeting with the AKI management, as a result of the new composition of the Commission, which consists of 11 members different from the composition of the 5th Parliament legislature, which had only 9 members. Also, this head of the parliamentary overseer Commission is in office to promote and strengthen reports between AKI and the parliamentary Commission.
Second by law on AKI, the director of AKI among many responsibilities is also obliged to respond, report, the AKI Commission on his request, Article 5 before 7 points of law. Outside this parliamentary Commission in order to fulfil and advance its monitoring mandate, I can order the AKI director to appear before it so that he can give oral reports on AKI activities.
