Scandal at RTSH/ Why Leka Bungo should be dismissed from duty

2025-01-15 17:08:00, Denoncim CNA

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.

"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)
