“In light of the establishment of the Commission of Inquiry into the situation of state-owned enterprises and institutions, as well as the salary system, we declare that we have no confidence in its work. To that end, we are announcing the creation of an investigative group composed of representatives from the opposition factions, which will inform the public about the situation at “Energocom” through “Calea Ferată,” including with regard to the salary system. At the same time, we will draft proposals to amend the current legislation,” stated Vlad Batrîncea, Vice President of Parliament and PSRM MP, today during the plenary session of Parliament.
He promised that the group would make the information obtained during the parliamentary investigations available to the public and investigative journalists.
“We will be very active in bringing the crimes committed to light,” Batrîncea said.
As a reminder, last week Parliament established an investigative committee to examine the activities of state-owned enterprises. The commission consists exclusively of members of the PAS faction; the opposition refused to nominate its own members because the commission’s chair and the majority of its members belong to the ruling party. Thus, the investigative committee consists of 11 PAS members of Parliament. MP Dinu Plîngău was appointed chair of the committee.
The investigative committee will examine how public funds and state assets were managed, analyze potential losses and abuses in state-owned enterprises, assess the legality of hiring practices, review executive compensation levels, and evaluate the status of companies operating at a loss or in insolvency. The final report is to be submitted within 60 days.
