Democratic MP, Ina Zhupa, once again denounced the abuses taking place in the Municipality of Saranda.

According to her, the Supreme State Audit Office has discovered that in just one year, 1 million euros were abused in this coastal municipality.

Zhupa said that this is a cost that citizens pay.

She called on citizens to take control of the Municipality of Saranda in the upcoming elections and put it at the service of citizens.

Full statement:

The latest report by the Albanian Supreme Audit Institution is, in fact, the best indictment for the Municipality of Saranda.
In just 1 audited year, around 1 million euros were abused by this municipality.
We are clearly not dealing with one or two incompetent officials, but we are dealing with a model of governance, a model of extorting public money and misgoverning.
Data shows that around 630 thousand euros are economic damage due to the municipality's inaction.
226 thousand euros is economic damage for violations in procurement, 101 thousand euros is economic damage for paid works, but in fact not completed, and 117 thousand euros is economic damage for parties, for artistic-cultural projects, which were not carried out according to procurement.
We are clearly dealing with a municipality that abuses citizens' taxes, steals them, and does not work in the public interest.
Therefore, we will denounce it every day, we will stand by the citizens in their protests and their problems, and we will guarantee that not only will we bring the files to justice, but we will also take over the Municipality of Saranda in the next elections and put it at the service of the citizens.
