Arben Ahmetaj was not only involved in the concession of the Elbasan incinerator, but also had an essential role in determining the form of the procedure followed. 

The documents provided by Tch show how Ahmetaj, through his subordinates in the Ministry of Economic Development and Entrepreneurship, determined the entire procedure and decision-making of other institutions involved in the process.

A document dated October 8, 2014, which was signed by Frederik Seiti, at that time the General Secretary of the Ministry headed by Arben Ahmetaj, defines Zamir Stefan as the representative of the Ministry of Economic Development and Entrepreneurship in the concession granting commission Elbasan incinerator.

But what was the role of Zamir Stefani as a member of the Commission? The answer is provided by the testimony of two other members of the commission who approved the concession and who have been charged. Etleva Kondi, the representative of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy in this concession says before SPAK:

“Me propozim edhe të juristit të Komisionit, i cili ishte në detyrën e drejtorit juridik dhe legjislacionit në Ministrinë e Zhvillimit, Ekonomisë, Tregtisë dhe Sipërmarrjes (fushë e veprimtarisë së të cilës ishin edhe vetë koncesionet), propozoi dhe argumentoi si ligjore dhe në përputhje me ligji me ligjin idenë e referimit të zhvillimit të procedurës në kushte emergjente, duke iu referuar ligjit për prokurimin publik, negociim pa shpallje, i cili na argumentoi se ligji për koncesionet nuk parashikon situata emergjente dhe konkretisht, dispozitat e këtij ligji shpreheshin se përveçse kur rregulloheshin ndryshe nga ky ligj, kuptimi i termave të përcaktuar në ligjin e prokurimit publik zbatohet për këtë ligj në përputhje me rrethanat. Konkretisht nenet 3, pika 19, si dhe nenin 33/1 të ligjit për prokurimin publik, për kushtet e emergjencës”.

Etleva Kondi's statement is reinforced by Bardhul Çabiri's testimony in SPAK, that he was a representative of the Municipality of Elbasan in the bid evaluation commission. Çabiri was asked who the other members of the commission were, the institutions they came from and their roles. In his answer he says:

"Zamir Stefani, who seems to me to be from the Ministry of Economy and was a lawyer and led the whole process from the legal side".

The two testimonies suggest that the idea of ​​granting the concession by negotiation without announcement, which contradicted the provisions of the procurement law, originates from the Ministry headed at that time by Arben Ahmetaj, questioning all the claims of the former minister that there was zero role in the whole process./Tch
