“In this matter, we will request that a meeting of the National Defense Committee be convened, at which the head of the Ministry of National Defense should provide information on this incident,” PiS MP Marcin Ociepa said in an interview with wPolityce. pl . A member of the parliamentary National Defense Committee does not hide his shame over the behavior of Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz, who, in search of a “scapegoat”, dismissed General Kępczyński after the scandal broke. “It is extremely shameful to hide behind the uniform of a Polish army soldier in a situation where the minister is politically responsible for hiding this information,” said the former deputy head of the Ministry of National Defense.
For months, the public had no idea of the scandal, which involved the loss of a huge two-ton shipment of mines, which were transported by rail through Poland without any protection from the Military Police and Military Police. After the army started the search, the mines were located in the warehouse of IKEA furniture stores. In connection with this issue, Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz dismissed Major General. Artur Kępczyński, who lost the post of head of the Inspectorate for Support to the Armed Forces.
According to the interlocutor of the wPolityce.pl portal, former Deputy Minister of National Defense Marcin Ociepa, the dismissal of the general after almost half a year is pure cowardice of the minister and shameful to hide behind his uniform in a situation where he had hidden the entire army. case since July.
We are dealing with two types of liability. The first is of course the service, the military, that allowed these kinds of scandalous incidents to happen. It’s here too political responsibility of the Minister of Defense, who for months concealed knowledge of what had happened from the public. Only when the matter was leaked to the media did he decide to fire the general responsible for logistics. Kosiniak-Kamysz needed a scapegoat. It is extremely shameful to hide behind the uniform of a Polish army soldier, while the minister is politically responsible for hiding this information. It is the Ministry of Defense that is responsible for informing parliament and the public about what happened, not the generals. If the general’s guilt had been clear from the start, he would have lost his position immediately, a few months ago, and not just now.
– says Marcin Ociepa, vice-president of the PiS club, in an interview with wPolityce.pl.

The management of the Ministry of Defense and the Military Counterintelligence Service have no time for the army because they pursue the opposition
The former deputy minister of national defense is not satisfied with Kosiniak-Kamysz’s media explanation.
A fundamental question also arises: what have the SKW and ŻW done in recent months? In this matter, we will request that a meeting of the National Defense Commission be convened, at which the head of the Ministry of National Defense should provide information about this incident. Explain how this happened, who is responsible for it and what the SKW and ŻW did at the time
– announces the politician of Law and Justice.
Certainly, the SKW is responsible for the security of military transport. The Military Police and the Military Counterintelligence Service must be immediately informed of the loss of cargo above 2 tons of mines. If these mines have not been found for so long, we can certainly expect the heads of the Military Counterintelligence Service and the Military Counterintelligence Service to be held accountable.
– emphasizes our interlocutor.
Since we are dealing with a situation where the management of the Ministry of Defense and the heads of the Military Counterintelligence Service are engaged in persecuting the opposition, it is not surprising that they do not have time to deal with Polish defense . If Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, Cezary Tomczyk and General Jarosław Stróżyk spent at least half their time chasing the opposition to the Polish army, such incidents would not occur.
– summarizes PiS MP Marcin Ociepa.
