SP rejects DP's request for an Investigative Commission for KAYO!

The opposition's request to establish an Investigative Commission on the activities of the state-owned company KAYO has not received the green light from the majority.

The decision was made during a meeting of the Conference of Speakers, where it was assessed that the request does not meet the constitutional and legal criteria for establishing a parliamentary investigative commission.

The request was filed by the parliamentary groups of the Democratic Party, the Freedom Party and the "Alliance for Change", with the signatures of 41 MPs. The opposition requested a 15-member commission with a six-month mandate to verify KAYO's activities, contractual relations, the use of public funds and suspicions of international arms trafficking.

At the center of the opposition's request are the allegations of 34 million euros spent by KAYO, as well as the audio recordings published in the media, for which the opposition is requesting parliamentary verification. These are allegations presented by the opposition and do not constitute, in themselves, definitively proven findings.

Defending the opposition's request, the head of the DP parliamentary group, Gazment Bardhi, stated that the purpose of an investigative commission is precisely to collect and verify information.

According to Bardhi, KAYO has spent 34 million euros from the state budget, while the opposition wants to know what the state has benefited from this activity and how contracts with private companies were concluded.

"We are not asking for anything else, except to learn and recognize the contracts signed between a state-owned company and a private company," declared Bardhi, insisting that the opposition is ready to discuss the subject of the investigation.

From the majority, the leader of the SP Group, Taulant Balla, argued that the request does not meet the criteria for establishing a parliamentary investigative commission.

According to the reasoning presented, the scope of the request is too broad and includes various issues, without clearly defining the concrete facts, actions or omissions that need to be investigated.

The document made public states that the contracts, acts or concrete actions that are alleged to be illegal have not been clearly individualized, while the time period of the investigation has not been sufficiently defined.

The majority also assesses that the eight points proposed by the opposition are of different nature, including contracts, commercial and production activity, budgetary funds, suspicions of arms trafficking, and obligations related to NATO.

The majority's reasoning states that media reports, decisions of the Council of Ministers, and the published audio recording do not in themselves constitute sufficient evidence for the establishment of an investigative commission.

According to this position, a parliamentary committee cannot be established solely to gather information in order to determine during the investigation whether or not an illegality exists. Before establishing a committee, according to the majority, there must be concrete data and indications on a specific issue.

Another argument relates to the verifications initiated by SPAK regarding the published audio recording. According to the majority's reasoning, a parliamentary investigation that would include the same issues could create overlap with the criminal investigation, especially regarding the authenticity and evaluation of evidence.

In conclusion, the position presented by Taulant Balla is that issues raised by the opposition can be addressed through other instruments of parliamentary control, such as questions in committees, questions in plenary sessions, and interpellations.

According to him, the fact that the Ministry of Defense has not responded to several requests for information does not, in itself, constitute sufficient grounds for establishing an investigative commission.

The Conference of Speakers thus rejected the opposition's request to establish an Investigative Commission for KAYO, while the political debate is expected to continue regarding the use of public funds, the activity of the state-owned company, and allegations of international arms trade.
