The hopeless state of the Interior Ministry's vetting procedures exposed

Following yesterday's Rzeczpospolita report on Janusz Ocipka, who broke the Anti-Corruption Law by working for the Interior Ministry and simultaneously serving on company management boards has resigned from the government. Janusz Ocipka, who headed the Ministry's political office, stated in his resignation letter that none of the companies, on whose supervisory boards he sat and which dealt with the sale of coal, are responsible for the huge debts owed to the State Treasury. The leader of the Civic Platform Donald Tusk, suggested that the Interior Minister should also resign. "Minister Krzysztof Janik was in control of vetting procedures. I think that the best solution would be to call for a new Minister," he said. However, Janik announced that he has absolutely no intention of resigning. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1) A.K.
