SPAK leader Altin Dumani clashed with Justice Minister Ulsi Manja after the Council of Ministers proposed establishing a new structure to control the Special Prosecution Office.
Altin Dumani stated that SPAK is now subject to supervision by the KLP and ILD.
The Head of the Special Prosecution Office emphasized that the creation of these new evaluation structures would risk creating bureaucratic overload.
"A recommendation that I see, although in the assessment of our institution it is not related to priorities and the fight against crime, but is what you say in your recommendations 'need for respect for existing control mechanisms'. Strengthening internal control mechanisms is recommended", said Altin Dumani.
While the head of SPAK added: "SPAK, already subject to supervision by the KLP, ILD, the creation of new evaluation and integrity structures without analysis of existing mechanisms risks bringing about bureaucratic overload."
Altin Dumani : After being familiar with the recommendations, I cannot help but mention some elements, some of our findings. The recommendations are not accompanied by statistical data, comparative analysis or concrete indicators that justify the need for intervention. This lack makes the recommendations seem subjective and difficult to measure, especially for SPAK, which operates on the basis of efficiency, results and public credibility.
Some of the recommendations use general terms such as proactive investigations, strengthening the strategic approach, but do not provide any operational definition. This creates uncertainty for practical implementation and may lead to different interpretations by implementing institutions.
Another recommendation that I see, although in the assessment of our institution it is not related to priorities and the fight against crime, but is what you say in your recommendations “need for respect for existing control mechanisms”. Strengthening of internal control mechanisms is recommended. SPAK, already subject to supervision by the KLP, ILD, the creation of new assessment and integrity structures without analysis of existing mechanisms risks bringing about a bureaucratic overload.
Some of the recommendations are very general and do not define measurable objectives, responsible institutions or concrete resources, risking remaining unimplementable. I said this to make it clear, because at the end of each year we also report on the implementation of the recommendations of the Council of Ministers.
So, of course, in their entirety, the recommendations are welcome and we express our maximum commitment as an institution to ensure that these recommendations are a priority in the institution's work, but on the other hand, some of them, due to the way they are formulated or conceived from a practical point of view, present difficulties in implementation. And I am already noticing difficulties in how I will report on the fulfillment of these recommendations.
