“The impudence and corruption of the governors deprive the country of resources for repairing the roads, while the recent World Bank’s decision to cancel a part of the credit for repairing 400 km of major roads is a penalty for the Communist Government,” the leader of the Moldova Noastra Alliance Party (AMN), Serafim Urecheanu said, quoted by Info-Prim Neo. According to a communiqué from AMN, by its decision the World Bank accused the Moldovan authorities indirectly, but very clearly, of violating its rules regarding transparency, competitiveness and equity in holding contest for public tenders. “The behavior of the present Government that believed it can promote its financial schemes, interests and protected companies through this project with international support in order to manage the foreign funds caused larger damage than the 11 million dollars,” the communiqué reads. Serafim Urecheanu says that after this refusal Moldova can lose other important sums designed for repairing roads, borrowed from other foreign donors such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the European Investment Bank, as the correct administration of the US$50 million project is in question. AMN asks the relevant bodies to identify and hold accountable the persons that discredited the project by violating the legislation on public procurement, the communiqué says. On December 26, the World Bank announced that it had to cancel the equivalent of US$11 million of the US$16 million International Development Agency credit offered to the Government of Moldova for repairing roads over misprocurement.
