8 hours agoHaxhiu: Constitution is being pressured over Haradinaj's decision to raise wages
Periskopi(8 years ago)
(8 years ago)Procrastination of the Constitutional Court's decision about raising salaries by Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj is intentional, said Vetevendosje Movement MP Albulen Haxhiu. Haxhiu even says he has not officially learned that the Constitutional Court has tremendous pressure on the salary issue. I think there's a tendency [...]
Haxhiu even says he has not officially learned that the Constitutional Court has tremendous pressure on the salary issue.
It seems to me that there is a tendency for this issue to drag on, but it should be emphasized that the very procrastination of a decision in the report leaves the area of pressures that may come from the outside. Because I have not officially realized that there is tremendous pressure on the Constitutional Court in relation to the decision it will issue on the wage issue”, Haxhi told EO.
LVV's MP says three months have passed since Haradinaj's decision to raise government cabinet salaries was prosecuted in the Constitution.
We're about three months from the time we went to the Constitutional Court. The LVV parliamentary group and also the support of MPs from the Democratic League of Kosovo parliamentary group to say right, we have waited a month ago for the Constitutional Court to give the verdict or the act in relation to the contest that we have made -- that is, the decision to raise salaries, illegal and arbitrary and not constitutional decision to raise salaries<1>.
She even says it is irrational that the Constitutional Court has ruled on the issue of demarcation prior to this salary, given that the latter has been sent much later than Haradinaj's decision on wages.
It is irrational how the Constitutional Court has been able to address the subject on the demarcation issue, which we have handed over much later, rather than on the salary issue, and it cannot address an issue that the arguments are clear and there is no doubt that the decision is unconstitutional, so it has been very easy for the constitutional court to deal with this matter”.
Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, through a decision dated December 21st 2017, has raised his salary, members of the government cabinet, advisers and several officials of the prime minister's office staff.
Out of 1,000 and 443 euros as it was, the prime minister's monthly salary was set to be 2 thousand and 950 euros. The Kosovo government has made the decision to raise salaries and deputy prime ministers. The salary for a minister has reached 2 thousand euros, up from 1,000 and 270, while it was previously.
However, this decision has been suspended following the Anti-Corruption Agency's conclusion that wage growth is a conflict of interest, which would have to be addressed under law in force.
