"Veliaj is left alone"/ The journalist shows the firm that has turned
Journalist Ola Xama

In the show "The Unexposed", journalist Ola Xama spoke about the direct responsibilities of the Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj in the Tirana incinerator affair, for which he was called to be questioned at SPAK for about seven hours. 

Ola Xama explained how Veliaj was the key factor and took over the financing of the incinerator, without the approval of the Municipal Council.

This is exactly the firm that today has turned into Erion Veliaj's nightmare.

"For the incinerator, the taxpayers' budget spent 75 million euros, another 65 million euros were collected from the land. In total, 135 million euros, for an invisible work. It was a landfill and continues to be a landfill, they just have plant some trees. Justice will find where the money went.

Already in 2016, a few months after Veliaj took the post of Mayor, he sent a letter to Shkëlqim Can, where he requested that the field of waste management be made PPP. Also attached is an IFC feasibility study.

The Minister of Finance asks him to argue why he should with PPP. Then comes Ahmetaj and he receives a letter from Veliaj for PPP. Minister Ahmetaj returns several times for arguments, until he receives a letter. Ahmetaj asked for explanations why the procedure should be done with PPP. We have a division, no IFC did it, no it was an unsolicited offer. Here, Mr. Veliaj, assume that I will finance the incinerator! They are proposed as an unsolicited offer by Zoto's company. And here Mr. Veliaj takes over. At first it had a proactive role, and then it takes on an active role, taking over the financing.

In August 2023, the waste issue was on the verge of collapse. The municipality spent 2 million euros, because the Ministry of Infrastructure and Finance refused. All the institutions have left him alone and the Municipality of Tirana has remained at the door of the incinerator", said Xama./ CNA
