(4 years ago)Kosovo's eighth Parliament legislature, comprised of 120 deputies, is manifested by the absence of some of the lawmakers, although their obligation is to be present at any parliamentary session, for which people have been voted, paid by state money. Lackless leaders are standing the ruling party, the Vetevendosje Movement, [...]
The lack of quorums, failure to pass bills and undo important issues often proves to be a factor in the absence of Kosovo deputies in the hall, who receive a salary of over 1,000 euros for their responsibilities, adds to the amount of wages they benefit.
Periscopi, based on the Law on Access to Public Documents, has provided evidence of all MPs participating in parliamentary sessions for the last three months of 2022 (January, February, March), in which 20 total sessions have been held.
According to lists secured by the Kosovo Assembly, the ruling party's deputies -- Vetevendosje Movement -- come out to mark 120 shortages. The Democratic Party of Kosovo 65 times has had a lack of follow-up with its deputies, and the third ranks the Democratic League with 20 shortcomings on the part of MPs.
Who is making such shortages?
Democratic Party of Kosovo MP Ardian Kastrati is believed to be the lawmaker with the least participation in parliamentary hearings. Badly has not left his colleague from Vetevendosje, Vasfije Krasniqi, and MP Fitim Uka from Albin Kurti's party.
January had six sessions, with 28 shortages of deputies in total at the first session. It was similar in others. Of them, Vasfije Krasniqi lacked five times. That's how missing it was. Ardian Kastrati i PDK.
Not five, but three times during January, there were no MPs from the Vetevendosje House, Hakki Abazi and Arta Bayraliu, as well as Bekim Arifi from the Ashkali Party for Integration.
Same names have not been left to him Nor during the seven February sessions. Again Identified Win Uka Lacking during five sessions, Vasfije Krasniqi did not participate in four sessions, as did a Vetevendosje MP, Alban Bajrami, who did not go to the hall on three occasions.
Record broke up MP PDK, Ardian Kastrati. From seven sessions, he decided not to go anywhere.
When we're in the month of March that was manifested with seven sessions, on a black list of seven shortages entered by Vetevendosje MP, Archresha Kryeziu. And it doesn't seem to be here either Fitim Uka and Ardian Kastrati.
According to the Parliament of the Republic of Kosovo Order, with the special decision of the Parliament's Headship, MPs for lack of access to the Assembly meeting are not given additional compensation envisioned with the 3.2 rule for that meeting.
Otherwise, Kosovo's deputies have a lot of other benefits, among them the removal of household-work travel spending and vice versa, for which several months ago turned out some of them had received large sums of money for that purpose./ BESARTA HOTI/ PERISCOP/
