Affair with the lands/ Journalist: Veliaj's role in the incinerator scandal

Journalist Elvi Fundo

Journalist Elvi Fundo explained this evening, the affair with the lands and the scandal involving the Municipality of Tirana, with the agreement with the Tirana incinerator company.

Fundo said that the concession company should buy soil to cover the compost that is encapsulated in Saw.

He stated that this is where the Municipality of Tirana entered, which made an agreement and cooperated with the concession company at the expense of the builders.

The municipality has set a fee of 4-8 euros for soil, forcing the builder to send the waste to the incinerator company, and in this way the concession company does not buy soil for encapsulation, but sends it to the builder, who bills it.

According to Fundo, the government is not aware of this fee, while the mayor Erion Veliaj remains indifferent, justifying that it is a private-private relationship, while not sending the Project Implementation Unit for control.

"At the moment the concessionaire company received the contract, the urban waste, the daily garbage that we take out from the houses had to be covered, and for that we needed the soils. In order for these wastes to be covered with soil, the concession company would either buy them on the market, or find them somewhere and has made an agreement with the Municipality of Tirana. They have made a deal and have not approved the fee. Only by their will, the concession company has approved a fee.

The private companies already, the builders, who talk not to the private, but to the concessionaire company, where the intermediary is the Municipality, which pursues them with the municipal police, pursues them with the environment and IMT invents a fee of 4 thousand lek per m2 and 800 thousand lek for inerts because inerts are twofold. When the private companies went and weighed them, there is also a detail, one m2 and it is 1.5 tons, but they billed 750 ALL with VAT, and this fee was never approved by the government. The government says it does not know this fee, the municipality says it is a private-private relationship. But what happened?

The municipality sabotaged the Project Implementation Unit, did not bring its representatives. And meanwhile the company says I have operated, the state has no knowledge and 60 million euros have been stolen. They laugh that the land is in private-private relationship, not that it is the cost of every apartment, of every m2 bought by the residents of Tirana", he said, stressing that for this reason the values ??of the properties have also increased. in Tirana.

Fundo underlined that the land fee was decided by the Municipality of Tirana with the blessing of Veliaj and the directors of Veliaj./ CNA
