Onet announced on Tuesday that Bogdan Skwarka, director of the Public Administration Department of the Supreme Audit Office, in mid-June wrote a letter to the Vice President of the Chamber Tadeusz Dziuba – a member of Law and Justice in 2011-2019 and the head of the local authorities.

Greaves accused him of tries to manipulate the results of the audit regarding the activities of PiS MEP Beata Kempa, as the minister for humanitarian aid in 2017-2019. Onet recalled that “from the beginning, Beata Kempa’s activity was controversial.” “On the first trip to Jordan she flew by a government plane, which cost about PLN 300,000. Then she was involved in the operation of completing schoolbags for children from Syrian Aleppo, some of whom probably never arrived,” journalists wrote.

Members ask about independence of controllers
The Supreme Audit Office launched an ad hoc audit on Wednesday in connection with the preparation of the presidential election, which was ordered on May 10. In connection with the commencement of the audit, the opposition asks about the independence of the House’s controllers. Krzysztof Gawkowski, head of the Left Club, who requested the NIK audit on the May 10 election, pointed out on Thursday in the Sejm that “after what President Tadeusz Dziuba is doing, among others, it will be impossible to conduct a thorough audit.”

Piotr Zgorzelski, the Sejm Deputy Speaker of the Polish Coalition, also referred to the issue of control. – In my opinion, PiS will do everything to prevent disclosure of all materials that could plunge, be it the Minister of the Treasury or someone else – he said. – If it actually starts (audit), then there will also be a test whether Mr Marian Banaś is the true president of the Supreme Audit Office or is still on the PiS links – he added.
