All the facts/ Abuses and violations of Leka Bungo

The scandals surrounding the head of the RTSH Board of Directors continue to deepen. The man who goes around talking megalomaniacally about controlling corruption and has swiftly removed many directors, is now faced with very painful facts.

The question arises: Did you remove these directors or did they leave because they were incompetent, corrupt, or did they not give Leka Bungo the proper support?

LEKA BUNGO IN CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

CNA has proven with documents that Leka Bungo, in violation of the law, in a clear conflict of interest, given that he is the chairman of the RTSH Steering Council, has received money from the institution where he approves projects.

So, he approves them himself, he signs them himself, he receives the money himself. This is a fact and this document shows it.

Secondly, CNA has brought the status of RTSH, the law on conflict of interest and has brought it with this article that you can read here . ( CLICK HERE )

LEKA BUNGO LIES IN THE ASSEMBLY

Today we are bringing this video, which was made on November 13, 2024, where Leka Bungo speaks before the Media Committee in parliament.

He speaks and lies. Leka Bungo lies, deceives the commission under oath. This man who speaks about how he removed the directors deceives the commission and it is a video fact because 11 months before speaking in this commission, Leka Bungo signed the above document that we have shown with Alfred Peza, he received 4 million lek.

Meanwhile, he says in parliament that he hasn't done any work in 2 and a half years.

But CNA will also bring other facts and documents, indisputable evidence, which show that Leka Bungo not only deceived the Parliament, not only took the money, not only is he in a clear conflict of interest, but that his battles are not moral with the directors or with the people who have managed RTSH or have been executive directors, but were for clientelistic interests, because when Alfred Pez gave him the money, Leka Bungo kept his mouth shut. Then what did he do?

When Enkelejd Joti set the "limit on what was said", Leka Bungo started the battle, not for reasons of principle, but because he wanted his share, and this is what happened once with the poor Thoma Gëllçi, who, in fact, as for Leka Bungo, his story is known.

INSTITUTIONS TO VERIFY THE CASE

Therefore, today we are faced with indisputable facts that show that the RTSH Steering Council is headed by a person in a clear conflict of interest, a liar who, under oath in the Assembly, before the Media Committee, has deceived by saying that he has not benefited from or done any work for two and a half years at RTSH.

Leka Bungo doesn't have the morals of a man who can go and resign because he's caught in a rut and has little skin left in his old age because he doesn't have it and there's nowhere to find it.

However, responsible institutions that must verify the case are the ones that must provide answers, not only for a Leka who receives lek at RTSH, but for anyone who will go to the RTSH Steering Council, not to manage the institution and give it a different performance, but to receive lek like Leka receives.

LEKA BUNGO

The Chairman of the RTSH Steering Council, Leka Bungo, has been caught in flagrant violation.

CNA has revealed documents and a contract that show how Leka Bungo and Alfred Peza violated the law by benefiting from RTSH funds.

The violation and abuse committed by the chairman of the RTSH Steering Council was also acknowledged by the general director of this television station, Aurora Polo, who, in response to CNA's request, emphasized that members of the Council or the chairman himself are prohibited from receiving funds. ( READ HERE)

"Referring to decision no. 3 dated 9.1.2024 of the Steering Council, only the directors of the RTSH who are elected by the Steering Council are exempt from paying royalties for engagements in film and artistic projects of the RTSH," emphasizes director Aurora Polo for CNA.

Thus, the director has exposed Bungo, thus highlighting the violation committed by the chairman of the RTSH Steering Council, a violation for which CNA has also shown documents where Leka Bungo receives money for the script of a television program. ( READ HERE )

CNA indicated that the RTSH Statute prohibits members of the Board of Directors from receiving funds.

So, no line of the statute states that the chairman of the Board of Directors can receive money for his role as a screenwriter in television programs.

Let's go further.

WHY SHOULD LEKA BUNGO BE RELEASED FROM DUTY?

Regarding this violation of the law and abuse of funds, Article 97 of the media law states that "in case of violation thereof, any member of the Council must be relieved of duty."

Point "b" of Article 97:

Incompatibilities and conflict of interest of members of the KDRTSH

Members of the KDRTSH cannot be individuals who:

-are related persons, according to the definitions of Law No. 9367, dated 7.4.2005 "On the prevention of conflict of interest in the exercise of public functions" or who own capital shares or shares of commercial companies, as well as other rights in the field of audiovisual broadcasting, advertising, audiovisual broadcasting content production, electronic communication networks or persons employed during the last year, members of the management or advisory bodies of these entities or related to any license with these entities.

As a result, point "ç" of article 100 determines that the dismissal from office occurs if it is proven that the chairman of the RTSH Steering Council has violated the obligations of article 97 of this law.

It is now proven with exclusive documents from CNA that Leka Bungo has received payments, signed contracts, and benefited from his position in an open conflict of interest. ( READ HERE)

CNA has denounced the scandals in which the Albanian Public Radio Television has been continuously involved.

A few days ago, CNA published for the first time a contract between the director of RTSH, Alfred Peza, and Leka Bungo, who has returned to the role of screenwriter of the show "Gezura", a television program on the Albanian Public Radio and Television.

The document clearly shows that there are millions of lek and a clear conflict of interest in money provided from Albanian taxpayer funds and the RTSH budget for the program.

Leka Bungo, in violation of the law

The General Director of RTSH, Aurora Polo, has admitted that the chairman of the Steering Council has committed violations.

In the response from director Aurora Polo to CNA, she highlights something very important, which actually reveals the scandal and violation of Leka Bungo, the chairman of the RTSH Steering Council.

The director has affirmed what is actually stated in the RTSH statute, that members of the RTSH Steering Council or the Council's chairman, Leka Bungo, cannot receive funds.

"Referring to decision no. 3 dated 9.1.2024 of the Steering Council, only the directors of the RTSH who are elected by the Steering Council are exempt from paying royalties for engagements in film and artistic projects of the RTSH," emphasizes director Aurora Polo for CNA.

The RTSH Statute also prohibits members of the Board of Directors from receiving funds.

So, at no point is it stated that the Chairman of the Board of Directors can receive money for his role as a screenwriter in television programs.

This is a violation committed by the chairman of the RTSH Steering Council, Leka Bungo, and the managers of this television station.

Leka Bungo is in an open conflict of interest because as chairman of the RTSH Steering Council he cannot receive funds and consequently neither can the members of this Council.

The scandal lies in the fact that Leka Bungo himself votes, approves projects and then takes the money for television programs for himself by appearing as a screenwriter.

The relevant institutions must uncover the truth because the problem in this case is not only Leka Bungo who violates the law and takes the funds, but also the leaders of the institutions commit violations./ CNA

Leka Bungo

Albanian Public Radio and Television has turned into a barn of scandals, affairs, corruption and conflict of interest.

The escape of the director of this institution, Alfred Peza, revealed many facts and details about the accusations made by the media one after the other. They were often called political attacks, but in fact they were not.

There has been a conflict in RTSH for years, a conflict that is instigated by the head of the Governing Council, Leka Bungo.

The scandals, exploits and tragedies of RTSH have also been found by KLSH in whose reports it is said that there were abusive actions or pure conflicts of interest.

CNA brings today for the first time a document, which is a contract between the director of RTSH and Leka Bungo, who in this case returns to the role of scriptwriter of the year-end festival, i.e. the festival on Albanian Public Radio and Television.

The contract between Alfred Peza and Leka Bungo

The document clearly shows that there are hundreds of millions of Lek and a pure conflict of interest, money given by the funds of Albanian taxpayers and the RTSH budget for the scenario of the festival.

The contract between Alfred Peza and Leka Bungo

In fact, the problem and the scandal lies with the firm, with the person who benefits from this money. He is Leka Bungo who holds the post of the head of the RTSH Governing Council.

For those who do not know, Leka Bungo has often instigated conflicts with all the leaders since he came to this institution.

The first was Thoma Gëllçi, then Martin Leka, then Enkelejd Joti and the last Alfred Peza, who was forced to resign.

With all the directors there was a problem supposedly in the name of the fight against corruption, Leka Bungo had his bargain, his bargain, as is the case with this document signed by Alfred Peza and Leka Bungo.

It is enough for the responsible investigative institutions according to these documents that will soon be taken to SPAK to understand what happened.

Several meetings were held where the council could not approve the festival budget.

Once it was 700 million, then 600 million and so on, staggering amounts and finally the council approved this and what happens?

It happens that the scenario of RTSH is taken by Leka Bungo.

On the other hand, there are other ways to benefit from certain funds or projects which are placed in the names of third parties. It is enough to ask RTSH who are the people Leka Bungo cooperates with, or those he is interested in, or the projects he supports the most, there you will also find the tentacles of a big affair in RTSH.

An affair that arises at the Board of Directors of RTSH and goes to the director of this institution.  After the Council exerts its pressure not to vote and then the director issues hundreds of millions of Lek projects, which are taken by Leka Bungo or the members of this board.

CNA will bring further shocking facts such as this document signed on December 29, 2023 where Alfred Peza and Leka Bungo exchange heads with each other, where one unlocks the funds, while the other gives a part of these funds to the head of the Council Manager.

Now the document is a fact, it is proven and everything that CNA has written about the scandals and affairs of RTSH now has a document that proves that behind the Governing Council of RTSH and the director of this institution, Alfred Peza, there is an affair of highly clientelistic and corrupt, as the conflict of interest in this case is beyond ridiculous and unbelievable./ CNA
