Head of KOWR to Resign? Agriculture Minister Makes Firm Declaration

Mateusz Nowak

- It all depends on the results of the audit I've ordered, which will present things clearly and, I hope, in a short time, because that's the order I gave – that this audit should last a maximum of two weeks, unless additional threads emerge – said Stefan Krajewski in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Gość Radia Zet", when asked if the head of KOWR, Henryk Smolarz, should resign.

- If there were irregularities or a failure to fulfill duties by employees of the National Support Centre for Agriculture, consequences have been drawn, and consequences will also be drawn – he emphasized later in the conversation.

- There are no sacred cows anywhere. I truly have no fear or trepidation about making the toughest decisions, and I will make them – he continued, when pressed whether he would dismiss Henryk Smolarz if the commission he appointed found violations or irregularities.

- If there are such findings, I will not shy away from any decision – he added, responding to the host's statement, "if necessary, you will dismiss him".
