Tensions rose during Monday’s session of the Inquiry Commission on the incinerators affair as Durres acting mayor took the witness stand.
Sako dodged several questions and left the meeting after staying a couple of minutes on the phone.
The head of the commission Jorida Tabaku said that the refusal to testify is a criminal offense.
“We will sue Emiriana Sako as she refused to testify,” said Tabaku.
Democrat MP Belind Kellici said that ‘it is the first time that a witness called to summon leaves the commission after being ordered over the phone’.
Kellici accused Sako of according €200,000 to Klodian Zoto and raised claims on whether the acting mayor of Durres had actually met before with 3 people wanted by authorities over the incinerator affair.
The acting mayor of Durres, Emiriana Sako was set to testify at the Inquiry Commission on the incinerator affair.
While giving her testimony, the head of the commission Jorida Tabaku noted that evidence indicates that from 2018, former mayor Vangjush Dako, and the interim mayor, did everything to deposit the city’s waste at the Tirana incinerator.
Sako said that the waste was sent to Tirana, as Durres is a touristic city, adding that she is proud of that decision.
“Today, I am proud for that decision, of taking the waste to Tirana, as Durres is a touristic city”, she said.
