During Thursday's meeting between PiS chairman Jarosław Kaczyński, deputy chairman Mariusz Kamiński and the Supreme Audit Office head Marian Banaś, an expectation was expressed for the last one to step down from his office - PiS spokesperson Anita Czerwińska informed.
The meeting was held on Thursday afternoon in PiS headquarters in Warsaw.
"During the meeting with Marian Banaś, chairman Kaczyński and deputy chairman Kamiński expressed expectation for the NIK chief to file for resignation," Czerwińska said.
"Superwizjer" journalist, Bertold Kittel, has been checking, among other things, why Marian Banaś had not included the information regarding a tenement building in Kraków district of Podgórze that was used as a collateral and, according to the asset declaration and the real estate register, is owned by the chief of NIK. The journalist visited an hourly hotel that is being run in the building. It was there where he had faced a well-known criminal and ex-con from Kraków.
Marian Banaś has been appointed as the chief of NIK despite his asset declaration being under scrutiny of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau.
On Wednesday (November 27) Banaś gave a statement regarding the ongoing examination of his assets by state authorities. He added that he "calmly" awaited the procedure to come to an end.
The government's spokesman Piotr Müller informed on Thursday that PM Morawiecki has read the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau's report on Marian Banaś and that the conclusion included in the document would be analysed further.
