(10 months ago)The Independent Media Commission is one of the already dysfunctional institutions due to the non-compliance of the Parliament until the ombudsman institution is operating with members who have passed the mandate. Ombudsman Institute spokesman Petrit Colak says the replacement of the members who have been given the mandate has remained [...]
Public Lawyership Institute spokesman Petrit Colak says replacing members who have been given the mandate has remained hostage to the blockade in the Assembly, though, as he points out, so far, there has been no impasse of work.
With the assembly inconsistencies, a competition has not been held. There are four options asked by the people who were given the mandate in June this year, and now the ombudsman is unable to send the same list as the deputy or make a new announcement about the contest. The lawyer of the people has informed the assembly and we are waiting until the assembly is formed and we continue with procedures until these plebes continue their work until the arrival of other vices”, Colaku said.
But from blockades in the Parliament they did not experience alone KPM of the ombudsman institution. At the Kosovo Institute for Justice, they list a number of other independent institutions that operate with a lack of members or are dysfunctional because of the non-action of the Assembly, including the Independent Council for Kosovo Civil Service, the Kosovar Property Agency, the Independent Authority of Competition and other.
There are 17 independent institutions that are either not functioning or operating with full composition or are completely dysfunctional and can take action due to the lack of members. This situation has not only been linked to the non-compliance of the assembly, but also the failure to fulfil obligations from the past legislature is expected in the future to increase the number of institutions that are dysfunctional because of the lack of members who must be elected by Parliament. We have disfunctional KPM. The ombudsman's institution lacks several deputies, and there is also a period where the ombudsman institution remains without ombudsman and we would have an independent dedication institution that cannot function adequate because the lawyer has been elected”, said Gezim Shala- from the Kosovo Institute for Justice.
At the GAP Institute, meanwhile, they say that with the failure of the Parliament, many independent institutions have remained without monitoring.
There's a lot of independent institutions without monitoring, we have boards that pass the mandate, and we have the RTK funding issue... It's a chain of processes not to mention important laws, we have the labour law that is awaiting treatment in the convent...”, said Bleddy Haysa, director of the GAP Institute.
Last Saturday, for 54 times in a row, MPs failed to establish the Parliament despite the Constitutional Court's decision to fulfil that obligation within 30 days. From Sunday to August 8th is in force of the provisional measures of the constitution, which prohibits any decision and actions of MPs following the deadline for consultation, RTV21 reports, broadcasts Periscope
