Roman Hauser turns down offer to become new Justice Minister

The until now most probable candidate to become the new Justice Minister, Roman Hauser, (who is also the deputy president of the Supreme Administrative Court) yesterday rejected the proposition put to him by Prime Minister Marek Belka. Roman Hauser disclosed that he rather wants to participate in reforming administrative juridical law. Therefore who will replace the current disgraced Justice Minister Marek Sadowski is not clear. Sadowski said he is ready to resign if the Prime Minister asked him to do so, after the media revealed that he had been using his immunity from facing legal responsibilities for causing a serious road accident back in 1995. Marek Belka announced few days ago he will accept Sadowski's resignation. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) A.K.
