At the request of the prosecutor, the court has ordered the temporary arrest of Michał K., former president of the Government Agency for Strategic Reserves (RARS), which will allow for the initiation of a search for him under an arrest warrant, the National Prosecutor’s Office announced on Thursday.
Former RARS chief wanted. “Political revenge of Tusk’s gang”
“Today we have another act of perfidious political revenge by D. Tusk’s gang. This time, the victim was the former president of the Government Agency for Strategic Reserves, Michał Kuczmierowski,” wrote former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on platform X.
In his opinion, the prosecutor’s office’s motion to arrest him has two dimensions: “it constitutes an act of political revenge against people who worked for our government” and “it will paralyze the state in the future when decisions will have to be made quickly in crisis situations.”
“I am fully convinced of M. Kuczmierowski’s honesty, which he will certainly prove during the trial. Today, it is clear that the reforms he has undertaken and the actions of the Government Agency for Strategic Reserves are extremely distasteful to the current, destructive government, which is destroying everything and everyone in its path who serve Poland well,” Morawiecki said.
According to him, Kuczmierowski was the author of the reform of the functioning of RARS, thanks to which “it became an extremely important element of the fight against the pandemic and a center of real support for Ukraine”. “Thanks to his actions and those of RARS employees, efficient decisions were made regarding the purchase of essential, extremely hard-to-find equipment, saving the health and lives of thousands of Poles,” the former prime minister argues.

He further emphasizes that it was RARS that “secured the most important needs of the state in the field of strategic security, also for the time of a possible armed conflict”, and Kuczmierowski created this institution “an efficient hub thanks to which aid for attacked Ukraine could quickly reach places where it was most needed”.
Morawiecki recalls that the former head of RARS was decorated by the presidents of Poland and Ukraine, while the “hunt” against Kuczmierowski and his associates “is based on lies, manipulations and half-truths, which the December 13 coalition has mastered to perfection”.
“In the end, the truth will prevail. I know Michał very well and I know that he cannot be destroyed. We are with you!” – assures Morawiecki.
