Sulik was the only person not connected with Agora who has listened to the recorded corruption proposition from Lew Rywin to Gazeta Wyborcza chief editor Adam Michnik before the scandal was revealed. Since October last year Sulik has received monthly compensation of zł.1,600 gross, which is one of the highest social grants that a Prime Minister can make. It was also revealed that Sulik has been applying for such a decision for the past few years. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A3) A.K.
