Rama harshly criticizes the directors: Waterworks with cranberries, 6 times more
Edi Rama

The municipalities of the districts of Gjirokastër, Lezhë, Fier, Elbasan and Lushnje signed today in Pogradec agreements for the creation of new water companies within the new phase of the Water Reform.

During his speech, Prime Minister Edi Rama did not spare the criticism towards the leaders of the Waterworks, saying that they have hired 6 times more employees than they need and this was done for the sake of honor.

According to Rama, employment without criteria in the water supply directorates is a criminal act, even more so at this time when they are also asking for a halving of the price of energy, for which the price has increased terribly in the market.

"We have 6 times more water supply workers than we need. Where do they come from? From the streets of Khrushchev. Yes, you cannot do social employment policy with enterprises. If we are successful with energy, it is because we returned OSHE from a refugee camp of people who MPs and Khrushks entered.

While in the water supply it is an unimaginable thing and this agreement that is a set of interdependencies between the municipality and the government, will make this social practice that this is in social quotes, actually criminal and that must end, in relation to state finances.

In conditions where energy costs have become staggering, you want to bill the coffers of the state not only for the increased cost, but for more than half of all the energy you use. You want to pay no more than half the energy. This can no longer happen because it is not half the energy it was before this terrible crisis began, but it is more than half the energy in conditions where it costs as much as the hairs on the head. The problem now is whether or not there is energy, because you can have money but no energy," Rama declared.

Jokes with Pjerin Ndreu

Edi Rama: Korça is better because of historical reasons.

Pjerin Ndreu: What about Lezha?

Edi Rama: No, Lezha is in heaven, we talk about us who are on earth because you are in heaven, you are not compared to us. Lezha is in heaven, especially the Pukjan part of Lezha.

Pjerin Ndreu: No, not Lezha.

Edi Rama: The people of Korça have respected the water more, because when they saw it freezing in the tap, they felt the trouble, whereas in Lezha the water never freezes, it just flows. Lezha also comes, as we said about that work, but Lezha is aggregated with others. Gjirokastra, Fieri and Lushnja and we hope to close this process as we left it by the end of this month. And then we will continue with the reassessment of investment efficiency, staff management. Water supply has increased, but losses have increased.
