Six months worked and investigated about Hashim Thaci's exploits, while he was foreign minister and now at the helm of the presidency, the money he spent on the name of the lobby, but no single day Thaci responded to the lawmakers' call.
The commission, which investigated all those documents offered by the presidency and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the period 2010-2018, states that many of the contracts were not offered. Even the commission did not see the work reports, KTV reports.
And in 6 of these years, reports concerned the expenses of Hashim Thaci, originally as foreign minister, and later as president.
But even though MPs are overseers of his work, Thaci has consistently ignored them.
Despite neglect, MPs who made the parliamentary investigation say they have enough findings for misuse of public money. Refusing to issue statements, they have been warning report release in a week.
They even invited the DA to investigate.
The Commission had declared that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not offered the commission neither labour reports nor dozens of contracts.
Alston & Bird LLP, Patton Bogs of Cambridge Academy of Global Affairs, are three of the companies with which MPJ has had contracts.
The contract with Alston&Bird was worth $780, signed for the 12-month period, from March 1st 2017 to February 28, 2018.
This company would have to have the Investigative Commission sent out reports for the 12 months, but it has only sent it to 8 of them, until in another four months it has not been accountable.
From Alston&Bird, the commission has not received reports for November and December 2017, as well as January and February 2018.
Just for this period, the commission has doubts that the tools were divided for Hashim Thaci's autobiographical book.
Patton Bogs, which with MPJs had contracts of over 1 million and 300 thousand euros for March 1st 2014 through February 28th 2017, the commission has submitted the reports to him for only 7 months of 2015, while 10 reports were missing in 2014, 5 in 2015, complete 12 months' reports for 2016 and two in 2017.
Lack of reports, the commission also had from the Cambdridge Academy company, with which there was contract worth 40 thousand euros per 4 months, from September to December 2017.
