Kosecki to keep his Sejm post

A Parliamentary commission has voted against the dismissal of Sejm deputy Roman Kosecki after a motion from the Law and Order party and the New Right Congress. The opposition parties voiced their concern that Kosecki's role as vice president within the Polish Football Association constitutes a conflict of interest. A similar accusation was made some time ago by the Civic Platform against a Law and Order politician Jan Ołdakowski, who was also the director of the Warsaw Uprising Museum while serving deputy duties. The primary concern voiced is that in both cases a deputy of Poland's parliament is also presiding over a state-owned for-profit company, thus causing concern for a conflict of interest, reported Rzeczpospolita. Kosecki, a former footballer, has been a deputy to the Polish Sejm since the middle of the last decade.
