Infrastructure Minister opposes NIK plan to stamp out driving test corruption

The Supreme Board of Inspection (NIK) has proposed that panels of examiners be introduced to prevent corruption in the awarding of driving licenses. The idea was put forward after a NIK investigation revealed that driving licenses can be obtained in exchange for a bribe, ranging from zl.700 to zl.2,000. However, Infrastructure Minister Marek Pol opposes the NIK proposal, saying it would force up the fee for a driving test. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A5) A.Z.
