The tragic accident in the TEG district , where two Egyptian citizens employed by the Alba-Beton company lost their lives, raises serious doubts about respect for the law, institutional control, and employer responsibilities.

According to data made public by the DPSHTRR , the driver of the concrete mixer truck did not have an Albanian driving license and was not equipped with a Certificate of Professional Ability (DAP), a mandatory document for driving such vehicles.

Further, VoxNews published an investigation that found that the driver had an Egyptian driving license that was expired at the time of the accident.

If this fact is officially confirmed by investigative bodies, a fundamental question arises: How could a person without valid documentation be put in charge of a concrete mixer truck?

The responsibility does not end with the driver.

In every transportation or construction company, there is a chain of responsibility.

Before an employee gets behind the wheel, someone must verify: the validity of the license, its legal recognition in Albania, the availability of the required professional certificates , and employment documentation .

If these procedures are not followed, then the issue is not limited to the individual error of the manager, but may raise administrative or criminal liability for the persons who allowed the exercise of the duty.

Why hasn't an investigation into the Alba-Beton company been announced yet ?

The investigations are expected to examine whether legal obligations for the employment of foreign nationals were respected and whether there are responsibilities of the persons who authorized the driving of the vehicle.

Institutions must respond:

1- Who verified the driver's license?

2- Who checked its validity?

3- Was this driving license legally recognized in Albania?

4- Was the driver equipped with a Certificate of Professional Ability?

5- Have the procedures for employing foreign citizens been respected?

Meanwhile, Alba-Beton administrator Erjon Harizi, in a reaction to the media after the accident, stated that there is a legal vacuum.

Harizi states that the two Egyptian citizens brought the agencies and that they have no responsibility towards them.

Even if they bring an electrician and the power goes out, what should the company do, said Erjon Harizi.

"It may be unconverted, but not without a license. There is a lack of law, there is a vacuum. The agency brings them to us and we employ them, train them, we don't leave them in their hands. It's about a month, but I have others who have been here for 5 to 7 years. While the agency hires us an electrician, he can be electrocuted, but what can we do," said Harizi.

Trust in the state is built through investigation, not silence.

In a state governed by the rule of law, every fatal accident must be followed by a thorough and impartial investigation.

If it is proven that a company has allowed a person to drive a heavy vehicle without the required documentation, then responsibilities must be determined according to the law, regardless of the company's name or the influence of shareholders.
