Pawlak tries to put out corruption blaze

13.03.2009

Minister of economy and deputy PM Waldemar Pawlak has met with Prime Minister Donald Tusk in order to explain press revelations accusing him of nepotism.

 

“All my activities are transparent and the governing coalition is functioning well,” assured Pawlak after the meeting on Thursday.  

 

On Wednesday the Dziennik daily claimed that the minister has been involved in dubious arrangement whereby many of Pawlak’s relatives and friends are in business relations with the Polish Voluntary Fire Brigade, an organization that he is president of.

 

“I informed the PM about the full transparency of my activities connected with the Voluntary Fire Brigades. Already this year the association’s finances have been inspected by the Supreme Chamber of Control and the Ministry of the Interior and Administration,” said Pawlak. (jm)
