Poll shows public demand State officials revenues be unclassified

According to a Rzeczpospolita poll, over 90% of the public believe that revenues of state officials should be made public, and that false data on their wealth statement should be punished with temporary suspension from duty. Politicians have other ideas for preventing recent scandals, like introducing proxy to fight corruption and police provocation. The Head of the Civil Service Mirosław Stec, thinks that the stipulation of revealing politicians' income is reasonable as, "Here there is a strong correlation between administration and business, and employees move jobs between the sectors." A similar view is shared by the majority of politicians from virtually all parties questioned by Rzeczpospolita. The government is currently working on new regulations to fight corruption and according to Interior Minister Janik, these should be ready in September. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A3) M.M
