It was decided to ask the Minister for an explanation, either in committee or in plenary at the beginning of the autumn session in September.
“The Minister is a state politician and questions, apparently in the Seimas Chamber, should be asked of this nature, and not request a court to apply a sanction.” Also, could officials go to court (BNS)? Hardly, ”Andrius Kabišaitis, Head of the Legal Department, spoke at the Board meeting.
The Commission requested the Board of Seimas to compel the Legal Department of the Seimas Chancellery to represent the Commission in court to defend its right to receive information and to request the administrative responsibility of J. Narkevičius for breach of the law and violation of the public interest.
Seimas First Vice President Rima Baškienė suggested looking for a conversation.
“Going to court and following that path is, I would say, the last step. Let’s try to find a conversation, perhaps mediating and talking about what is missing, what documents are missing,” he said.
Ričardas Juška, the head of the anti-corruption commission, says that the decision of the administrative court would remove such precedents.
“It is not so important to us whether Narkevičius would be punished or not, but deprived of the opportunity and a bad precedent so that such actions and ignorance under the pretext of data protection regulation are not repeated and information is provided to the Anti-Corruption Commission “Juška explained to BNS.
According to him, in the absence of the information requested by the Ministry of Transport and Communications, the commission’s investigation into the transparency of the tender was halted.
According to R. Juška, other ministers or heads of state institutions may follow the example of J. Narkevičius and not provide information to the commission.
The Anti-Corruption Commission suspects that competition for the post of Director of the Port of Klaipeda was not transparent: the commission claims that it did not receive responses from the Minister to questions about the statement by Algis Latakas audio recordings and protocols, candidate work programs .
The commission claims that it only received formal responses to the questions. The ministry said it did not want to violate the protection of personal data. Furthermore, J. Narkevičius explained that the process was transparent because it had not been appealed.
