SPAK announced on Monday that it had indicted Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku and five of her subordinates in connection with the LLogara tunnel tender affair.

According to SPAK, Balluku has been named as a defendant in the Llogria tunnel tender - a 5.99-kilometer segment that cost taxpayers 18.9 billion lek or more than 190 million euros - and is accused of "violating the equality of participants in tenders or public auctions."

But Ola Xama says that after reading the arguments of the accusation that SPAK has made against officials of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy and the ARRSH, he raises the question of why there is no one responsible for inflating the limit fund.

"Was there an intention to initially benefit from tens of millions of euros? If so, who benefited and where did they go? If officials favored a company participating in the competition, should it be investigated and whether there were attempts by the company to intervene and provide illegal benefits to officials?" , the journalist asks.

Journalist Ola Xama's reaction:

From what I read in the arguments of the accusation that SPAK has made against officials of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy and the ARA, I still do not understand why there is no one responsible for inflating the limit fund. This is where the goal of creating economic damage worth tens of millions of euros begins.

If there is a violation of equality in tenders resulting in economic damage, the greatest economic damage was caused by the cancellation of the first procedure. As confirmed in the communications, the cancellation was not made for legal or professional reasons, but due to the bad feeling that Minister Belinda Balluku had and on her orders.

The lowest bid in the first tender was 143.7 million euros (today's exchange rate). The file considers that the damage from the violation of equality in tenders came from the disqualification of the operator with the lowest bid (158 million euros) in the second tender procedure.

SPAK must clarify how and for what purpose the limit fund was inflated. How can a competition be opened for a work that will cost 190 million euros with only a draft idea (just a render) and a roughly drafted estimate? The entire procedure was done in 4 days, without any opposition, without being approved by the Technical Council and directed by people close to the minister. How did the entire institutional chain, the Ministry of Finance, the Treasury and the APP fail to allow this to happen?

Was there an intention to initially benefit from tens of millions of euros? If so, who benefited and where did they go? If officials favored a company participating in the competition, should it be investigated and whether there were attempts by the company to intervene and provide illegal benefits to officials?
