Rokita puts pressure on Sejm Speaker to publish Rywin commission report
Rokita claims that Sejm Speaker Józef Oleksy is refusing to publish the report, making it impossible to prosecute those responsible for the corruption scandal. He also points out that President Kwaśniewski claimed that there are Constitutional obstacles preventing him from appearing before the Rywingate commission, yet he is willing to testify before the commission that is investigating oil company PKN Orlen. However, Rokita's idea of resuming proceedings by the Rywingate commission and summoning the President, has not met with enthusiasm of the other members of the commission. Jerzy Szteliga from the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) said that Rokita's idea might be interpreted as being motivated by jealousy and an attempt to regain the limelight rather an attempt at seeking the truth and justice.
