Minister wants to clean up supervisory boards controlled by the government

Agriculture Minister Wojciech Olejniczak has announced plans to sack all the Polish Peasants Party (PSL) members that have seats on company supervisory boards which are controlled by the Agriculture Ministry. All the PSL deputies who will be recalled from their posts are those who were nominated to manage the companies during the period of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) - PSL coalition, by former Agriculture Minister Jarosław Kalinowski. According to Olejniczak, the PSL deputies who supervise the companies, do not have enough experience to manage those companies and were only appointed to those posts through party connections.
