10 December 2023 at 12:49 Statsbygg: Have had nothing to do with the NSM loan agreement – We have had nothing to do with NSM’s loan agreement, says communications manager Hege Njaa Aschim to news. To DN, which mentioned the matter first, Aschim says that Statsbygg should have been involved as advisers in the rental process. The Ministry of Local Government and District Affairs has a requirement that state enterprises that enter into lease contracts of over 30 million must use Statsbygg as an adviser in the procurement process. – The process and the lease agreement, as I perceive it through the media coverage, is completely foreign to how Statsbygg operates. Government actors do not lend money. They get it granted, she says to news. The extent to which Statsbygg was involved in the process surrounding the National Security Authority’s (NSM) disputed lease contract will be a central part of the investigations the Ministry of Justice and Emergency Preparedness will carry out in the future.
