Doke: Not Nano over SHIK
Deputies and senior officials should not be wiretapped “The new law should not have been approved, but they did not listen to us”
SHIK, Mediant’s new challenge
SHIK — “The law on SHIK is a highly delicate document and it contains positive aspects, but it also has many shortcomings. Likewise, many things have been left not clearly defined. Personally, I think that during its approval many of our suggestions were not taken into account and this should be corrected in the future.” This is how the Deputy Speaker of Parliament and secretary general of the PSD, Genc Pollo, expressed himself when asked yesterday by “GSH” about the approval of the much-debated SHIK law. If the shortcomings of this law were to be corrected according to Pollo, the possibility of wiretapping deputies and senior officials should be excluded. “This is because such a thing is very compromising and can be used for different purposes and not always lawful ones. It is very important that the limits and duties of SHIK be clear,” Pollo added. Regarding the fact that this law was approved despite criticism from the opposition, the deputy speaker of parliament described it as a “stubbornness” on the part of the majority. According to him, the approval of the law on SHIK may also have been motivated by the situation of the moment, but he still remains of the opinion that many opposition suggestions were ignored. “I also think that this institution should not be placed under the leadership of the Prime Minister, because that would create a clash of competencies with the President of the Republic. On this basis, it seems to me that the future prime minister himself, currently Mr. Nano, may have also accepted the possibility of interventions, which would put him in an unfavorable position,” Genc Pollo declared yesterday to “GSH”.
