Vice-chairman of NIK under investigation

Zbigniew Wesolowski, vice-chairman of the Supreme Board of Inspection (NIK) will have to face his superior, Miroslaw Sekula, over his visit to Costa Rica which, for unknown reasons, was extended from three days to one week. Although Sekula claims he will make Wesolowski shoulder responsibility for his decisions, it is not clear what measures might be taken to curb the vice-chairman's freedom. According to Rzeczpospolita's findings, the most recent visit is but the latest entry on a much longer list of Wesolowski's official foreign visits. Over the last four years, he has taken part in conferences in Israel, Malta, Sweden, The Netherlands, South Africa, Romania, Slovenia, Norway, Canada, Great Britain and Columbia. In January 2002, Zycie revealed that Wesolowski had used his company car to transport cement, wire and tools needed for the construction of his house. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) J.K.
