Monkiewicz to stay as head of Supervisory Commission?

The head of the Insurance and Pension Funds Supervisory Commission (KNUiFE), Jan Monkiewicz, said in a meeting with Prime Minister Leszek Miller that he could see no reason to resign. Monkiewicz, accused of mismanagement and acting against the interest of his company while being the president of the leading domestic insurer PZU, cannot be dismissed without a court conviction. The Prime Minister asked him to resign, arguing that he had abused the trust that the government had put in him, as he should have informed them about the fact that he is under investigation by the prosecutor. Representatives of the insurance sector emphasized that Monkiewicz, despite wanting to stay on, should consider quitting in the interests of good relations between the government and the Commission.
