Scandal in Fier, the director rents state offices; he puts the money in his pocket

The investigative show has shown in voice and picture how the director of the Children's Cultural Centre “The Bego-x1 lamp, the Bano Urani shopping in its office, and the money for state-owned rents is absorbed without filling any documents.

After reporting coming to the redecase, journalists on the investigative show met the director of the cultural centre for children, presenting themselves as representatives of a non-existing private company.

Initially, she said a request should be made to the municipality of Fier, as she is dependent on it, but then agreed to rent facilities without meeting any such demand. When the journalists of “Fiks” asked her what the rent fee was, she refused to issue a price, but asked to know how much the company's approved fund was for the event. During a telephone conversation, reporters told her they had $250,000 in total, and she agreed to rent the task room for two days.

After the deal was closed, journalists from “Fiksi” again met Director Bano and carried out the payment on her request. She took the money, which she first left at her desk and then put it in her block. The question of whether she needed any documents, she replied that it was not necessary, while herself did not issue any bills or documents for receiving money from journalists, presented as a private company employee.

After receiving the manual payment from the director of the cultural children's centre in Fier, “Fiks Far: requested information on how the rent of state items, even those locally dependent, operates officially.

The verification resulted in no. 54, date 5,2,2014 The Council of Ministers's procedures define the rental procedures of state property, where, among other things, the subject must submit a request, the census certificate in the QKR and proof that it is not being prosecuted.

While the state or local institution, in this case the municipality of Fieri, should have issued a decision and order to determine the data for state property being leased, the area, the purpose of use, the floor value of the estimated monthly obligation according to the tariffs and deadline. The state institution, following documentation preparation, links the lease contract.

As far as the value is concerned, the decision has also reached the floor fees for each municipality, where the value for Fier is 150 cents per square metre per month. So for an environment of 100 square meters, the value would be 15 thousand dollars a month, while the director received 25 thousand dollars per two days at the weekend.

But Director Bano did not ask for any official document from “Fiks Fara”, and there was no formal request or contract from Mayor Fier who manages this facility to rent it.

She even received the cash handbill, not through the city bank account or the Children's Cultural Center, without issue of any official receipts or documents for them, raising doubts about where these money goes that goes benefited from renting state environments.
