PiS to check public sector contracts signed before elections

The first contract to be investigated will be an agreement worth zł.420 million concerning the servicing of the IACS system, which is responsible for executing direct subsidies for farmers. The contract was signed between the Agency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture (ARiMR) and HP Polska on September 15 this year. HP Polska president Andrzej Dopierała said he has no problems with the planned check as long as it will be carried out in a legal and civilized way. According to ARiMR estimates, the IACS system has already cost over zł. 1 billion, out of which zł.700 million was spent on the system's IT infrastructure. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 5) A.K.
