Prime Minister Edi Rama has expressed harshness with the mayors of the country, as he has called them to a meeting. He has warned them of austerity measures for arrears.
The Prime Minister said that the municipalities accumulate debts and problems for the government to solve. Rama also said that municipalities are very backward with the digitalization of services.
" The role of developers is played by many investors who take construction companies and develop properties. What prevents them? They catch 2 birds with one stone, shelter their people and sell them to collect income, why not do this? How big are the markets with participation or municipal ownership, how many collection and distribution points are there, how many of you have used the sovereign guarantee fund for agriculture?
How many times have you repeated this thing, to come to another gangrene that is water. Why we have to face serious water problems. Municipalities do not do their duty, but coexist with the deepening of debts with the abuse of property in the name of electoral comfort. Wealth does not go where it should but only debts, debts, debts. Not to mention other services, cleaning, public transport.
Why should the government be the champion in digitalization and why not the municipalities. Does it make sense for municipalities to be backward in digitalization? , Rama.
