DP MP Belind Kelliçi accuses Edi Rama of another affair in the "Smart City" project, following his visit to Abu Dhabi and meeting with the head of the G42 company.
According to him, a contract initially estimated at around $60 million has increased significantly to $118 million, without competition and without transparency, raising questions about the procurement method and the real costs of the project.
Kelliçi says that the increase in funds and the selection of the company are related to a repeated government practice in public contracts, where the lack of competition and transparency, according to him, is accompanied by suspicions of mismanagement of public funds and risks to national security.
"Edi Rama shows us again with photos the traces of a scandal!
During a visit to Abu Dhabi, Edi Rama met with the head of the G42 company, Peng Xiao, to whom he awarded $118 million in procurement for the Smart City project without a tender or competition.
A controversial affair in many ways.
First, the initial amount for this project was estimated at 60 million USD. But then, suddenly, it almost doubles. 50 million euros are added. Have we encountered a similar story somewhere before?! Yes, at the Llogara tunnel.
Even in that case, the photo of Rama with the executives of the Turkish company preceded the addition of 50 million euros to the contract. Money that evaporated and the work was done with the previous end.
There have been previous complaints about the Smart City affair. It has been found that the equipment that will be used to cover the country with cameras has been priced at 3 to 4 times more expensive than what it costs on the market.
But the most suspicious part has to do with the company that was awarded this project and this affects national security.
The G42 has strong ties to China, about which concerns have also been raised in the United States Congress.
And it is precisely to this group that Edi Rama has decided to give the most sensitive data, and the basic element of national security, which is camera surveillance throughout the territory.
"These adventures of Edi Rama, which begin with trips and are covered with propaganda, have in many cases resulted in financial deals that are harmful to the country, carried out according to the interests and personal friendships of the prime minister, without transparency and in the dark," Këllici writes on Facebook.
