Scandalous: The suspicion that corruption at the Ministry of Leburn Ali ate about 2 million euros at King's COron

By 2020 the road had eroded several miles on both sides of the magistrates from Komoran to the vicinity of the Business Park. And in the year we left behind, only a part of it was decided to be asphalted on both sides. This was because the company failed to earn a profit, even losing nearly 2m euros, since when it had won the tender, its position for asphalt had been placed in the bid by just 5 cents m2 and had clearly absorbed other positions that would be carried out inevitably.

MMPHI as a contractor did not force him to lay the 4cm asphalt layer. Through one commission, he accepted his job and paid his money 20 percent more than the value of the contract.

That little space that has been asphalted in the past year is out of standards to guarantee the life expectancy and efficiency of public funds spending to this end. The Ministry of Infrastructure has officially confirmed this.

Ministry laboratory confirms paved asphalt is off limits

MMPHI has contracted a laboratory that conducts the examination of building materials and constructions, called IMK “Balkan Project” shpk.

In each project, ministry officials go to work together with the laboratory and see whether the established construction material is a set of standards and contracts. They have done so with asphalt, which has been spread for years in summer.

Periscope He's asked for access to the reports and the ministry has sent us four Sosh.

Reports, which were drafted in July 2022, speak of scandalous works that are off-limits.

It is seen that aggressive fractions are missing from asphalt (thunder group)).

Asphalt is made, it is not of ferocity, but of limestone.

Even the bitumen percentage is low. (For the production of asphalt-bethon as a binding material, bitumen is used for circular surfaces).

Outside parameters is the source (Stone flour, or thread, is rock - size material that is smaller than 0.71mm. The part of the stone flour whose grains are smaller than 0.09mm, is called filler. The content of the tiny particles affects the bitum solidification index, because the quality of the bitumen mastic (+ fileri) depends on cohesive characteristics and asphalt mix. Mystique's role is not only to connect the aggression beans but also to fill the gaps in the stone frame).

Rather, asphalt should be composed of many components to be bound together for resistance, and some of the demands of the component are lacking, some having very low values of endurance. As a result, the lack of these components made the price of the asphalt too low.

So asphalt is a mixture of fixed, compact components. Smashing asphalt is a mixture of granunudiated aggregate and certain bitumen, and it cuts me down all the grains of aggregate are wrapped in bitumen, and the agregate is every material of stone origin, guaranteed to be used in the design of asphalt mix.

What did the ministry lab identify in this project?

The reports are split with mercs. For example, in the P-180m Business Park profile in Corrotica, the required ratio is over 6. 87.

The percentage of the wire was supposed to be over 10, and it turned out to be 4.77.

The lab has found that the thickness required of the asphalt, in many parts, is below this quota, reaching up to six inches [2.99 cm],

The lab could not identify the type of biting, since it was not offered samples for preliminary examinations.

Although, it wasn't a contractor for this, the asphalt in Corrotrica was paved by the company “Bager”. Company this to its owner, Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Hysen Dumrish, has said he has a friend. The identified asphalat, produced at the moment, is made by “Kosovo Asfat”, the company that is in the name of the son of the owner of “Bager”.

Why was the eroded part not asphaltd?

In early July 2019, the Ministry of Infrastructure had signed a framework contract for three years called “the routine and winter maintenance of the A7 auto (Ibrahim Rugova) and A6, from the A7 A6 crossroads to the joint in Konjuh, as well as the National N9” route.

The contract has been divided into two tears.

The second part was won by the group of companies “Damstation Project Project & Via Engineering& Urban”, worth 3,500,654,70 euros. Lot 2 is about maintenance: The Bessy-Gugyca Department, the crossroad of A7/A6 to Konjuh and the key to N2 national route.

The contract was due until the end of July 2022. So the road was eroded by companies “Damstation Project Project & Via Engineering& Urban”

It is said that there have been corrosion of 220 thousand m2 m2 asphalt, currently costing over 7 euro m2 of fiber asphalt in the market, which the company would cost about 1.5m euros if made by asphalt. But, the company, according to the contract that is published in the KRPP, on the contract price list, chapter 5 that has to do with “maintenance of the asphalt layers”, score 5.5 has preceded the new SMA circuit position “, 11 with an average thickness of 4cm corrosion”. In this contract, for three years, the amount of 210, 600 has been first for this position. 0 m2, at a value of 0.5 cents per m2. Its total is only 10 thousand and 530 euros.

So it seems that the company had offered at low prices to this position only to win the contract, not counting that road asphalt would be required, while in other positions it had set up extremely high prices. For example, knowing that there may only be a need for repair of some part of the road in the field, he had set a price of 12 euros per m2 for the 5.2 “rooting of the gaps, tracks, cracks of the circuit layer up to 4 cm thick”. The intervention for this position was preceded at 1200m2 at a price of 14,400 euros. 99 thousand euros was meant to be cleaned up and washed at least 2 times a year of district space for 165km, which amounted to 600 euros per cent. Most of the positions had a price of 10 cents.

Periscope It has requested access to payments conducted in each position, but the MMPH has provided paid blanco figures, without knowing which position they were committed.

Based on these payments made, it is seen that about 700 thousand euros have been paid more than the total value of the contract.

In 2019 it was paid 741, 378 euros.

2020: 959, 508 euros

In 2021:1, 972, 846 euros

In 2022: 525, 692 euros

While the value of the signed contract has been 3.5m euros, ministry paid around 4.2m eurosOr the contract has increased by about 20 percent.

However, based on the contract Periscope saw, MMPHI had long seen it grow to 30 percent. The contract, however, provided that it can be executed and that among 30 percent of the total value.

A technical admission was made along the way

Periscope has found that the Ministry of Infrastructure has issued references for the work done, for the company “Demastion Project” on the date 03.03.22 , for the performance of the works, without the contract being finalised and no contract positions were completed. So it's about project references “maintenance of the A7 Highway Ibrahim Rugova”.

Also, except that reference has been issued to the contract that has not ended, Periscope It also has two processes for technical acceptance of the work on this road.

As seen by the ministry's issued documents, technical acceptance of the works for 2019/2020, where the 5.5 position has not been realised, is 0.

Also, the technical acceptance of the work for 2020/2021, the same project, where the 5.5 position has been accomplished only 840m2 , from 210,600,000 m2, has been the first in Paramas and Paragari.

Reference to Public Procure Law - The LPP on which public contracts are being realised, the ministry has set cross-border criteria, contrary to the LPP, when it mentioned the term "References."

The Public Procure Ration Commission had clarified this a few days earlier in Questions and Answers, where different parties demand the interpretation of the LPP, the institution answers:

“into none of the 65-70 provisions of the LPP is mentioned in the term” Reference” in the sense of evidence that an operator has satisfactorily signed a contract. This can be attested to the final report of the work done or certificates for carrying out and/or the satisfactory outcome of the projects, which evidence is mentioned in the 69th article at LPP. However, if the Accounting Authority requires reference for satisfactory contract realisation, specifying the minimum number of references in the tender file, and in the Counter-Contract announcement, reference should be for contracts specified in the contract list and should be brought by the member of the group, if the same has been the executioner of the respective contracts, in order to consider that the demand has been met by the total”, the CCPP's interpretation says.

So, expressly, the CAPP has said that contracting authorities cannot set as criteria, demands for jobs done, but the final report on performing works or with certificates for carrying out and/or satisfactory completion of projects.

In the document issued for Reference, the signing has been dropped by former Ministry Secretary Izedin Bytyqi and the Director of the Road Infrastructure Department, Rame Qypeva.

Durmish sought investigation

Deputy Prime Minister Hysen Durmish has issued an extremely controversial statement, against the decision the ministry he heads to issue reference to the works he has done. His statement seemed to be in the quality of the person operating as independent of the ministry, and not as the main authority there.

After all these actions, Mr. Drumishi in last year in a television interview said that with the contract that was still valid for a few days, which was being carried out by “Dmastion”, the prosecution should be taken.

We have situations where the asphalt price has been 1 cent and 5 cents. At market prices for that position, it has been 10 euros, now it's even more. So there was a 200 thousand m2 position, the price on the contract was 5 cents, which for all is 10,000 euros, and the market price is 2 million euros, and then it didn't do the work, because it's already agreed that we're cutting this position and you get the contract, but you get the job. And by that, courts and prosecutors must be taken over”, Durmish said in an interview for ATV.

After this interview, the company “Bagher” under the contract was authorized to asphalt a small part of that route, and as seen by reports, asphalt is out of the required standards. The long - standing road will be paved with a new contract that will cost about 2 million euros. /Mentor Buzhala - PERISCOP/
