Absurdity in law will mean Rywin Commission's final report is a secret

The General Prosecutor, Grzegorz Kurczuk, will not declassify the testimonies of prosecutor Wanda Marciniak to the Sejm Commission investigating the Rywin affair, as in his opinion, it would violate the law. Moreover, according to the prosecutor, the Commission had also no right to ask for it. "This is a pyramidal nonsense," commented Commission member Jan Rokita. Kurczuk's experts cite the Law on the Prosecutors Office which does not say that testimonies of this office can be made public. "It is hard for me to agree with this opinion. This means that not only testimonies of Wanda Marciniak will remain secret, but also part of our final report. If this happens, it will mean the failure of the Commission," the head of the Rywin Commission Tomasz Nałęcz told Rzeczpospolita. He added that the best solution would be to amend the law as soon as possible. However, Jan Rokita announced on Wednesday that he would declassify the testimonies and bear full responsibility if the Commission fails to do so. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A3) M.M.
