Opposition group: Tallinn city govt continuing to deny corruption problem 2021-03-14 BNS/TBT Staff
TALLINN – The opposition Isamaa group in the council of Tallinn has proposed to set up an anti-corruption select committee in the city council and has made an interpellation to the city government on the topic of corruption.
The Isamaa group said in a press release on Saturday that the responses to both the proposal and the interpellation were negative, which means that problems are not acknowledged and one is not willing to address them in-depth. The internal auditor of the city of Tallinn said in an analysis on January 20, 2021 that no circumstances were identified during the audit indicating outside interference in the city s decision making processes, and the procedure is compliant with legislative acts, Mart Luik, head of the Isamaa group, cited the response offered by Mayor Mihhail Kolvart in connection with the Porto Franco case as saying.

The government will not take decisions on loans â the largest of which were in the tens of millions during the initial coronavirus wave â in the wake of a major KredEx-related scandal in January which brought down the Center/EKRE/Isamaa coalition.
KredEx is also getting a new supervisory board.
Processing of KredEx loan applications was suspended at the end of last year, but the government gave the go ahead to restart support from the body, at the center of a recent scandal which prompted the resignation of Jüri Ratas (Center) as prime minister, to the tune of â¬180 million.
