The Democratic Party of Vula has come out with a reaction to the arrest of two officials in the Ministry of Health, Joana Duros and Laura Shtetos.

With a statement to the media, the Democratic Party of Vula accuses the Ministry of Health of systematic corruption and this should not be tolerated.

According to him, the red-handed arrest of officials proves how widespread corruption is in Edi Rama's government. DP of vula demands that the Minister of Health resign and be investigated by SPAK.

Full statement:

Systematic corruption in the Ministry of Health cannot pass in silence and cannot pass without political responsibility. The red-handed arrest of the highest public official of the Ministry of Health proves how widespread corruption is in the government of Edi Rama.

3 years ago, at the height of the pandemic, DP proved with official documents that the Ministry of Health used secret tenders to steal from citizens. AntiCovid equipment and medications were bought 3-5 times more expensive, but the Minister of Health refused to take political responsibility. Likewise, SPAK did not serve the public interest with the half-assed investigation.

Today is the time for SPAK not to become again the shield of corruption at the highest political level in the Ministry of Health. Ogerta Manastirliu cannot act as if she does not know what happens with the tenders in her Ministry. Even the most disinterested Albanian in these works knows that the minister is aware and decides on the fate of a tender. Gentlemen of SPAK, don't pretend you don't know this! Also investigate Ogerta Manastirliu!

The silence of the Minister of Health for 24 hours and her non-distance from the corrupt actions of her closest collaborators prove that the corruption of the Secretary General is not an isolated case. Ogerta Manastirliu in the Ministry of Health is part of and serves a system rotten by corruption.

On behalf of the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party, supporting and encouraging the justice system to fully uncover the corrupt scheme with the tents in health, we demand the resignation of Minister Ogerta Manastirliu, as the main political responsible for corruption in the Ministry of Health and to pave the way for an investigation of complete and comprehensive./ CNA.al
