Diella, Edi Rama's ideal minister 

There is profound political transparency on the part of Prime Minister Rama in his insistence on appointing Diella as a minister. By appointing her, the Prime Minister clearly shows us the fundamental characteristics he values ​​in a minister, high efficiency combined with a total lack of will, dignity and human conscience.

This is in fact the fundamental difference between human and artificial intelligence (AI). AI is much more efficient than the intelligence of any human being in terms of calculation or information processing. But AI, unlike human intelligence, has neither free will, nor conscience, and consequently no dignity. It is simply an instrument of the will of its user.

It is precisely these characteristics that make Diella the ideal minister in Prime Minister Rama's worldview. She is extremely efficient (or technocratic), has zero capital and political ambition, and is at the same time completely submissive to the will of the Prime Minister. Diella is the only minister who signs everything because she is not afraid of SPAK.

In this respect, Diella is the final phase of the Rama government's gradual transition from a minister with a political and public profile to a virtual (or facade) minister. By political minister I do not simply mean people who had political capital or a public profile, but individuals who, beyond political capital, also had technocratic or administrative skills.

Such were Shkëlqim Cani, Erjon Veliaj, Blendi Klosi, Milva Ekonomi (with a high public profile), or Damian Gjinkuri in the Rama 1 government. 

From political-technocratic ministers, the Rama 2 and 3 government gradually moved to purely technocratic ministers. These were individuals without any political, public or social profile. Their distinguishing feature was anonymity. In Mero Baze's monumental phrase, these ministers could not even be found on Google. In some cases, they learned of their appointment from television.  

Today we have entered the final phase of replacing anonymous ministers with virtual ministers like Diella, who will never know that she has been appointed minister. We are moving from anonymous ministers without a political and public profile to ministers without will and without human conscience. This type of ministry is literally, and not figuratively, a slave to the will of Prime Minister Rama.  

This is in fact the main function of the Sun, more than the fight against corruption. The Sun itself cannot fight corruption because the opposite of corruption is honesty. But honesty, as an act or as a worldview, is a product of free will and human conscience. 

Diella's appointment is an admission by Prime Minister Rama that honesty is lacking in both his governance and his public administration. It is the lack of trust he has in his key associates, who constantly steal behind his back, that justifies Diella's appointment as minister, to replace the corrupt human decision-making of the current government.

The problem is that a completely digital administration or government is impossible. If the human will and conscience that programs the Sun is corrupt, the product will be more digital corruption that serves to hide human corruption. 

Therefore, Prime Minister Rama's aim to fight corruption simply through a virtual government or administration is a dangerous fantasy that demonstrates the Prime Minister's surrender in the face of the corrupt rot of his government and public administration. This rot is not fought with artificial intelligence but by injecting values, ethics and honesty from the highest levels of government to the lowest levels of public administration. 

But the seeds of ethics and honesty do not germinate easily when political and administrative careers are at odds with free will and human dignity. Looking for ministers and administrators who are both slaves to the will of the boss and honest and principled is impossible. 

Diella is the best example of this phenomenon. No one submits better and more efficiently to the will of the prime minister than she does. No one else in the Rama government has less connection to honesty, principles and human dignity than Diella./  Lapsi.al
