PiS charge Sejm Speaker for breaking the law over RPP appointment

Deputies from the Law and Justice (PiS) Parliamentary Club held a press conference yesterday and announced that they have lodged a motion calling for the dismissal of Sejm Speaker Marek Borowski. They claim that he broke the law while taking the decision to appoint Jan Czekaj as the new member of the Monetary Policy Council (RPP). PiS has also informed the Justice M inister and Prosecutor General Grzegorz Kurczuk about the affair. Law and Justice argue that Borowski changed the Sejm's decision about appointing Czekaj, so that his term in office would last six years and not four months. This was due to the fact that the decision did not state his term of office. The Act on the National Bank of Poland (NBP) states that the successor of the deceased member of RPP would only work until the end of term of the previous one, which is January 8, 2004.
