Skopje, 5 September 2023 (MIA) – At a session of Parliament Tuesday, the MPs approved VMRO-DPMNE’s request for a 13-member parliamentary inquiry committee to determine if political responsibility exists for officials linked to the Oncology Clinic case.

According to VMRO-DPMNE MP Antonio Miloshoski, in the past few days there hasn’t been a greater question of public interest than who is politically responsible, he said, for the morbid profit earned by some at the Oncology Clinic, at the expense of the health and lives of the patients.

“We propose the establishment of an inquiry committee for the Oncology Clinic scandal, which will have the authority to determine if political responsibility exists for the medical and government officials that were involved in the scandal,” said Miloshovski.

Additionally, Parliament adopted the opposition’s request to review the final audit report on the work of the Clinic. The review of the audit was set as the penultimate item on the agenda.

At Tuesday’s session, with 83 votes in favor, the MPs also adopted the decision to launch a public call for a new director of the Operational-Technical Agency.

Parliament Speaker Talat Xhaferi adjourned the session due to “a lack of conditions for making decisions”, noting that the MPs will additionally be informed over when the session will resume.
