Jacek Piechota to move to Economy and Labor Ministry

Former Economy Minister Jacek Piechota, who was dismissed on Tuesday, will most likely become the Secretary of State in the new Economy and Labor Ministry - a post until recently held by Andrzej Szarawarski - under a motion filed yesterday by Labor Minister Jerzy Hausner. All the remaining deputy ministers from the Ministry were dismissed by Prime Minister Leszek Miller, who under existing law was in no way obliged to do so. Szarawarski was dismissed due to allegations concerning a breach of anti-corruption laws. Szarawarski was accused of being a co-owner of Kamport, a company in which he owns 36% of shares.
