NIK department directors to be removed as part of restructuring plan

The council of the Supreme Board of Inspection (NIK) has unanimously voted in favor of strengthening the position of the body's president and of reforming all its existing departments. Announcing the decision, NIK president Miroslaw Sekula said that the directors of all 21 departments would be sent notice of the termination of their employment, and offered new positions within NIK. Instead of the current 21, there will be 12 departments, including eight involved in auditing work. However, before the changes come into effect they must be approved by the Sejm Committee for State Control and signed by Sejm speaker Maciej Plazynski. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A5) P.W.
