Bajrami: There is resistance not to debate enough on the issue of one stem contracts

The Progress Initiative (INPO) has published the report on the subject “The corruption catalyst: Practices that violate the integrity of public procurement”, while in demand from those present, there has proved to be a deep need for a change in the Public Procuration Law.

Arber Kabashi, monitoring official, INPO, has announced that this organisation will publish two reports in the week of corruption.

He has stressed that data collection is carried out through public procurement monitoring, while analysis on cases identified in the institutions involved.

“Under the week of corruption will publish two reports. Our research is in various sources, including documents and official reports from the e-procurement platform, reports of the National Audition Office as well as information from the complaining processes and decisions of the Procureing Organization. Data collection has been carried out through systematic monitoring of public procurement. The analysis is built on concrete cases identified in municipalities and institutions involved”, Kabashi said.

He has mentioned four examples of discrimination criteria. Malishev's “Building of the Road to Mirushes Falls”, worth 697,000.00 euros, technical and professional requirements for engineers, minimum and maximum restrictions for required equipment, complaints have been approved in part, but the AK decision has remained in force. Since July 2024, the contract has not been signed. The same case is with the Pristina municipality the procurement activity “Construction of the urban island, Arberi-Palati of Youth” of the projected 6,76 000.00 euros; OE has raised concerns about limiting the period of experience for the project manager in just 3 years for projects worth over 8 million. O Viewer Panel The EPS has rejected the complaint because the changes were made by the AK. Only one economic operator,”, Kabashi has said.

Hykmete Bajrami, chairman of the Parliamentary Commission for Public Finance Supervision, has suggested that there is a profound need for a change in the Public Procure Law.

Nevertheless, she added that accountability is needed for each government, at any time for governance for each signed contract and for every tender.

These “activities are a necessary thing and we should be account seekers at any time for governance. As we see from the report and the findings are not the only source of corruption, contract management is one of the issues that is essential today, in the case of the chronically unremitting that a road that was paved a week ago was broken because someone who managed it did not control the quality of the product. The issue of contracting a stem I've been alarmed, I've been with the Process Report, the question of why it's been made is a resistance not to debate enough, the requirement was that everyone give the responsibility to become an investigative commission, doubt is that it happens without the publication of the first contract is a violation of the law. Unless the violation of the law occurs, we have an abuse of position. The prosecutor's system is very complicated, the Public Procurement Law has never come to the Assembly and needs to be brought in a new law. The contract complaint is the other problematic”, Bajrami has been posting.

Arben Selimi, a leading expert on Metodology in Auditing Performance, has stated that the Public Procuration Law has been problematic over and over again.

“We have separate performance reports that handle the field of public procurement. Most findings are also known to the National Audition Office, and we also see the causes in order to give recommendations and eliminate those areas. The mechanism is good enough to improve the procurement field. Even the Public Procure Law is failing to be finalised and concrete. It's the people who run this procedure, if that law doesn't apply, there will be problems”, he said.
