“The sooner we remove this coalition from power, the better for Poland.” For example, PiS MP Jacek Sasin commented on the “revelations” of Citizens Coalition MPs about allegedly overpaying state finances during the PiS government. “We were the ones who cut (sometimes several times) salaries in state-owned enterprises,” Sasin wrote on the X platform.
At the beginning of last year, we submitted a report to the Public Prosecution Service about the possibility of a crime being committed, both by Minister Jacek Sasin, who did not exercise appropriate supervision over the companies, and by members of the supervisory board who controlled the remuneration in companies Shaping. like Orlen
– PO MP Agnieszka Pomaska said this today in the Sejm during a joint conference with the Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Energy and State Finances, Tomasz Nowak.
They earned this money legally, but it turns out that they earned this money by violating the Chimney Act
– said MP Nowak. KO parliamentarians emphasized that expenditure on rewards in state finances was exceeded by almost PLN 40 million.
Sasin: We have reduced salaries in companies
Jacek Sasin, former minister of state assets, referred to these “revelations” on the X platform.
I didn’t expect to have to write this every day, but today’s inventions from the Tusk team about the alleged high salaries in social security during the PiS rule are either extreme stupidity or a deliberate attempt to avoid any scandal cause after losing the elections. .
– wrote a PiS MP.
We were the ones who cut (sometimes several times) salaries in state-owned enterprises
– he recalled that later in his submission he wrote down facts about the remuneration of members of the Board of Directors of State Finance in several points.
Under the Commercial Code, the remuneration of directors of companies is determined by their supervisory boards. It is the supervisory authorities of the companies, and not the Ministry of State Assets, that decide the amount of remuneration of the members of the board of directors and conclude contracts with them. These decisions have been taken on the basis of legal provisions and legal advice on the consequences of these provisions. All documentation about this is available in the SSP and can be viewed by the current government
– emphasized the former head of MAP.
“The sooner we remove this coalition, the better for Poland.”
As Jacek Sasin has pointed out, in the case of the remuneration of boards of directors of state finances, there is the so-called Chimney Act of June 9, 2016
This law was introduced to prevent the circumvention of income limits that occurred under previously applicable regulations
– noted the politician.
Sasin added that under the law, the remuneration of members of the boards of directors of companies in which the Ministry of Finance holds shares consists of a fixed and a variable part.
The fixed part is determined taking into account the size of the company’s activities, while the variable part depends on the extent to which the management objectives are achieved in a given financial year.
– emphasized the MP.
The introduction of these regulations in 2016 led to a significant decline in income on the boards of companies in which the Ministry of Finance participates. The sooner we remove this coalition from power, the better for Poland
– summarized the former minister of state assets.
Pomaska: Obajtek earned too much by at least PLN 1.5 million
KO MPs Agnieszka Pomaska and Tomasz Nowak presented their findings on the income of companies in which the Ministry of Finance participated at the press conference on Thursday. They focused on Orlen and the achievements of former President Daniel Obajtek and other members of the boards of directors and members of the supervisory board.
Pomaska recalled that in June last year KO politicians prepared a report on the income in the mentioned companies, adding that the “face” of this report is the former head of the Ministry of State Assets, Jacek Sasin.
Minister Sasin did not exercise proper supervision over the companies of the Ministry of Finance, including the largest strategic fuel company Orlen.
– she assessed.
She explained that the report talks about avoiding the so-called Chimney Law and the Budget Law “in such a way that the remuneration base in some state finances, including Orlen, was actually determined by the Orlen supervisory board, as they wanted, and not as provided by law.”
Pomaska recalled that early last year KO politicians filed a report with the prosecutor’s office about the possibility of committing a crime by both Minister Sasin and members of the supervisory board that determines remuneration in companies like Orlen. Pomaska said that during the PiS government the case was dropped by – as she said – “a politicized prosecutor’s office”.
Yesterday afternoon I received a message from the District Prosecutor’s Office in Warsaw that the proceedings regarding the violation of the Chimney Act and the Budget Act had been resumed.
– said Pomaska.
As she added, this means, among other things, that Daniel Obajtek and other members of Orlen’s management and supervisory board “have something to be afraid of, because they received excessive rewards, exposing Orlen to losses.”
The Public Prosecution Service is once again examining whether the law was violated by Minister Sasin, who did not exercise appropriate supervision (over companies) and whether the law was violated by members of the supervisory board.
– emphasized the KO MP.
She added that if the Public Prosecution Service finds that members of the board of directors and supervisory board of Orlen wrongly received an excessive salary, they will have to return the money.
According to our calculations, Mr Obajtek has earned at least PLN 1.5 million too much so far.
– said Pomaska, noting that these are estimates because there is no Orlen report for 2023 yet.
MP Nowak noted that the report Pomaska was talking about concerns several companies with shares in the Ministry of Finance.
Violations of the Chimney Act were found in seven of these
– he said.
He calculated that in the case of, for example, Orlen it was PLN 12 million more, KGHM Polska Miedź – PLN 5 million more, PZU – PLN 7 million more, PKO SA – practically PLN 9 million more, PKO BP – PLN 3.2 million more . He asked where the then head of MAP, Jacek Sasin, stood on these exceedances.
Pomaska added that there is a total of PLN 40 million in overpayments at companies with shares in the state treasury. She emphasized that these are estimates for the period until the end of 2022.
Bochenek recalls: Orlen is a publicly traded company that is closely watched
PiS spokesman Rafał Bochenek was asked at a press conference on Thursday about reports of an overpayment of PLN 1.5 million for former Orlen president Daniel Obajtek.
I do not think that the supervisory board or the shareholders would accept the company’s annual accounts if there were violations. After all, it is a listed company that is closely monitored on the market
– said Bochenek.
He encouraged people to read Orlen stock market reports and ratings during the PiS government.
Quotations, ratings, everything at the highest possible level, huge profits and revenues, which the Poles could also benefit from, because the funds generated by Orlen were used to finance energy shields, which the ruling coalition today does not want to finance. Therefore, it shows the extent of Orlen’s activities under managers led by the PiS government
– emphasized the PiS spokesperson.
Bochenek emphasized that “all rewards and rates arise from legal provisions.”
And they are assessed by the relevant corporate bodies that accept funding and also remuneration
– added.
