He claimed to be receiving “various signals” about the selection of board members and promised to audit the competition. It would assess which candidates participated in the selection, what qualities were evaluated, and the reasons for the selection of the board members.

And how did V. Poderys and H. Surovičius delegate the Ministry of Transport and Communications?
“I think there will inevitably be changes,” the designated minister replied, but did not elaborate.
Would power have a salary?
The peculiar circumstances of the appointment of V. Poderis last week raised the question of whether he would receive any salary as a member of the board.
It is often the case that the members of the boards of directors of state enterprises delegated by the ministries are employees of the ministries themselves and, therefore, receive a salary from their workplace.

Poderys is not an employee of the Ministry of Transport and Communications, and Lietuvos Geležinkeliai does not pay the remuneration of the board members delegated by the Ministry, while the independent pay 15 minutes It is approved by the representative of the company Tomas Digaitis.
