Before the meeting, A. Dulkys had asked the director of the center for written explanations, which were evaluated by a special group. The asked minister did not say much about the results, but confirmed that errors had been identified.
A.Dulkys said Friday that the center’s employees should not be held hostage to the errors of the work organization or the manager.
“Personally, I see big problems and today I suggested to the respected Petraitis that, in my opinion, the best option would be for him to resign from his current position,” R. Dulkys told reporters after the meeting.
According to the minister, R. Petraitis asked for time to think until Monday and R. Dulkys agreed.
“We don’t have time, there is a crisis, we need organizations that work well,” said A. Dulkys, emphasizing that it is the responsibility of leaders and managers not to look at the situation in a bureaucratic way.
R. Petraitis did not share any comments with the media on Friday.
What will happen if the NVSC holder decides not to resign? According to the minister, then bureaucratic measures will have to be taken.
A. Dulkys stated that he did not doubt R. Petraitis’ experience as a specialist, but not as a manager.
Both the minister and the prime minister Ingrida Šimonytė criticized R. Petraitis for poorly organized work.
Criticism of the NVSC chief escalated further when it became clear that the statistics on deaths from COVID-19 were inaccurate.
Giedrius Nariūnas, deputy director of NVSC, resigned on Tuesday. At a press conference held that day, R. Petraitis explained that he did not know the reasons for his resignation and G. Nariunas did not even speak to him about it.
