The Mayor of Durrës, Emirjana Sako, continues her "love" with the company "Rajli Construction", to which she has given millions of euros for the reconstruction. In fact, Sako's favoritism towards this firm has been publicly denounced by the High State Control. But, despite everything, the Municipality of Durrës has given another tender to this company, even worth 99% of the limit fund. This firm was alone in the competition, leaving only a few pennies from the entire fund. There are doubts that this company is "owned" by Sako herself, starting from the ease with which she invites procedures in this municipality and how the mayor signs millions of euros without "blinking an eyelash".
According to documents available to VoxNews, the Municipality of Durrës has issued a notice to the Public Procurement Agency for the announcement of two firms, "Rajli Ndertim" and "Sireta 2F", of a procurement procedure. The tender was announced at the end of October 2024, as the object was "structural rehabilitation of Palace no. 1047 (ARVI), Taulantia Street" with a limited fund of ALL 74,079,767 without VAT, with a contract duration of 224 days.
"Only the union of economic operators 'Rajli Construction' and 'Sireta 2F' participated in the tender with a value of 73,984,248" it is stated in these documents, while only 95,519 lek, not even 1 thousand euros, were left "on the street"! It is learned that these firms received a total of 100 points. So, the maximum points in this procedure, "knocking" any firm that competes against them.
Meanwhile, VoxNews has learned that the reconstruction tender procedures from the Municipality of Durrës have also passed through the "sieve" of the Supreme State Audit, which has come up with a conclusion that the mayor Emirajana Sako "procured tens of millions of euros in violation of the law from a handful of semi-fictitious companies".
On February 3, 2022, the Municipality of Durrës held a tender worth 2.1 million euros for the flower gardens of several buildings in Rrashbull. "Rajli Construction" and "GPG Company" were declared the winners, while KLSH writes that the awarding of the contract was in violation of the law, because Rajli Construction did not meet the criteria and the companies had not determined the percentages in the cooperation agreement.
"KVO should have made the proposal to the head of the CA to cancel the procedure and start a new procedure. This inaction has led to the conclusion of a contract worth 206,840,255.6 ALL without VAT with an Economic Operator, who has been declared the winner in accordance with the PP legislation and charges the members of the KVO with responsibility," writes KLSH.
It is learned that "Rajli Construction" received tens of millions from the Municipality of Durrës from 2019 to the end of 2023, while all procedures were "closed". The municipality justified itself with the state of the earthquake, but these companies continued to receive money, as they received 20 million euros in total.
