TIRANA, February 15 /ATA/ Prime Minister Edi Rama stated today that, “If there are people who have a hand in a process that has been done to serve the country, the communities, for a cleaner Albania and for healthier communities, surely they should be punished. They deserve punishment because they have done this under cover of a governing force that is here for the Albanians and is not here for its own pockets”.
In an interview with “Voice of America” on the incinerators and the SPAK, Rama said that, “I believe they are two things separated from each other. The incinerators are a process that is crowned with works that serve the country, health and environmental communities and in parallel there are the actions of certain individuals, which remain individual responsibility. For others, we are in very comfortable conditions when the Special Prosecution is investigating and it’s up to it to identify the facts based on the investigation and evidence, not based on gossip and speculation”.
“I do not see any kind of speculation about the truth because while this is being investigated, the truth will come out in the end. Meanwhile, like the first day, even today I stick to the opinion that incinerators are useful works in function of the country, the environment, the communities. The violations will be verified by the Special Prosecution”, underlined Rama.
Asked if he is worried that ministers or former ministers or other senior officials may come out involved in this affair, Rama said that, “I am not worried that ministers or former ministers or anyone else may come out as involved because that’s why we made justice reform. When I said that justice reform is done for a fair justice, neither of the left nor of the right. And on the other hand, the responsibility for the role of everyone in public life is individual.”/k.s//a.a/p.s./
