NIK accuses high-ranking ZUS board members of assets mismanagement
The Supreme Board of Inspection (NIK) has submitted an official complaint to
the prosecutor's office, accusing former Social Insurance Company (ZUS)
chairman Stanislaw Alot and deputy chairman Adam Kapica of mismanaging
public assets, after the state-controlled entity was forced to pay over
zl.28 million in late interest fines for delays in transferring dues to
private pension funds from November 1998 to October 1999. The delays were
said to have been due to faulty computer systems implemented at ZUS. Alot
and Kapica blamed the holdup on continuously changing legislation and errors
in NIP and PESEL identification numbers in the central registers. NIK's
inspectors however were not convinced by the these explanations and claim
that both are responsible for the situation. (Rzeczpospolita, A4) M.T.
