Why the incinerator of Tirana was awarded with a concession and not with a

Another denunciation was made this Sunday for the incinerator in Tirana, which was given a concession to the company "Integrated Energy BV SPV".

Journalist Klodian Tomorri says that Tirana's incinerator could also be built with classic procurement, that is, with a tender and not with a concession.

But Tomorri declares that Klodian Zoto made a table where he claimed that if the state built it, the Tirana incinerator would cost 148 million euros, while if the concession company built it, it would cost 128 million euros.

According to him, Zoto, in collaboration with Alba Thoma, the legal director of the Ministry of Environment and Etleva Kondi, a member of the Bid Evaluation Commission for incinerators, inserted this table into the government's official report, where it was argued why the incinerator should be built with a concession and not tender.

The journalist points out that by order of Zoto, the Government gave the Tirana incinerator a concession.

Full denunciation:

There is a gem in the Tirana incinerator procedure.

In the middle of the big corrupt m*t, the problem arises, why should the incinerator of Tirana be built with a concession and not with classic procurement, that is, for the state to build it with a tender. So, an excuse had to be found that would not smell too bad, because this was also a legal requirement.

And the answer to this is given by Zoto. Zoto makes a table, where he says that if the state built it, it would cost 148 million euros, when we build it, it costs 128 million euros. Where did the difference come from, you say? Because according to Zoto, if the state did it with a tender, the builder who would receive the tender would earn at least 13.5 million euros, while these others were not feasibility studies, not bureaucratic costs. So, Zoto was building it without profit, that is.

Alba takes this table that Zoto made to Thoma. He takes this and puts it in the government's official report, where it was argued why the incinerator should be built with a concession and not with a tender. And while this Thomja and that Etleva Kondi set the criteria that Zoto and Mërtiri brought to them, the prices that they dictated and so on, the Sultan appeared on television and strongly defended the arguments of Thoma and Kondi that Zoto made. Miletus pays.

That's it - that's it. Next time, put Zoto's name on the ballot next to the Socialist Party at least. Let the people know who will make the laws for them in the next 4 years./ CNA.al
