TIRANA, November 12/ATA/ The Parliamentary Committee for Legal Affairs, Public Administration and Human Rights discussed today on the budget for the Albanian Authority on Access to Information on the Former State Security Service.
During the discussions, the opposition MP Enkelejd Alibeaj asked the Chairperson of the Authority Gentiana Sula about the people who will run in the upcoming elections of 2025 and the required deadlines for the verification of purity of their figures.
“It may happen that many of the potential candidates address you asking for a background check to confirm their integrity,” – said Alibeaj.
The Authority’s specialists, present at the Committee, explained the process.
“It would be better if these requests are sent 70 days before the elections. If they are sent at the same time, the necessary time to do the background check takes 20 days. Therefore, their self-declaration is the best possible solution”, explained one of the attendees.
On the other hand, Chairperson Gentiana Sula highlighted the fact that, “During the current year the Authority has scanned 7 million documents in the computer and I believe this process will take 2-3 years to be completed”. /a.f/p.s./
