MALAJ IS READY TO BE INVESTIGATED

Interview with the Minister of Finance, Dr. Arben Malaj, given to the newspaper’s editor-in-chief, Luan M. Rama “I always come out face to face. Those who strike from behind should be ashamed. In the parliamentary group I will present arguments, calculations, and concrete figures. I am ready to provide any clarification and accept responsibility, especially before Albanian taxpayers. I am just as proud as I was in March 1997 to look people and MPs in the eye; I am just as unfazed by stale accusations; I am just as ready to be investigated for every action; I am just as optimistic that people understand me, while certain individuals, for very narrow interests, lie awake concocting stale accusations and motions of no confidence.” PAGE 3
