Parliament Speaker Igor Grosu considers the Prosecutor General’s proposal to work out a new complex strategy for recovering the money stolen from banks is an aberration. He said that in such a way the Prosecutor General’s Office wants to shift the blame for the failure of the investigation into the bank fraud onto the Government and Parliament, IPN reports.
The Speaker derided the PGO’s proposal to think up a strategy for recovering the money stolen from the three banks. He noted that the state of affairs inside the Prosecutor General’s Office cannot be tolerated, alluding to the necessity of dismissing the Prosecutor General.
“After two years during which they stated that they asked for commissions rogatory, the PGO comes and says that a strategy is absent. Be attentive! They want the strategy to belong to the PGO, but want a strategy worked out by the Government or Parliament. This way they shift full responsibility by this aberration. I wonder what for do we need such an institution? It is disregard for the public funds and for what has been done for these institutions, for the salaries that were raised and for the stability of posts they enjoy. As long as the judges and prosecutors do not deliver results, something is rotten in their court,” Igor Grosu stated in the program “Secrets of the Power” on Jurnal TV channel.
The Speaker noted the government will also analyze the activity of the institutions that are under parliamentary control. The efficiency of their activity will be assessed by the Parliament’s standing commissions that can later suggest removing the heads of these institutions.
“On the agenda of the Parliament’s sitting, we have two bills on the assessment of the activity of a number of regulatory institutions. Many people criticized us over the stability and term in office of the heads of these institutions, but we don’t have the time they have at their disposal. We will question again in Parliament the NAER chiefs as we must bring things in order there too. Someone dared to speculate on fuel prices and this is inadmissible,” stated Igor Grosu.
Parliament has the first sitting of the autumn-winter session today. The agenda includes the bill to increase the responsibility of the heads of the institutions that are under parliamentary control by assessing their activity and simplifying the dismissal procedure. Among these institutions are the Audiovisual Council, the Competition Council and the National Commission for Financial Markets.
