On air he blurted out: "What's the harm in promising?" Now he may have a problem

Przemysław Witek from the Civic Coalition made headlines at the beginning of the week, when during Agnieszka Gozdyra's program on Polsat News he was asked whether Rafał Trzaskowski would be able to support any of the points of the declaration proposed by Sławomir Mentzen. "What harm can it do to promise?" he asked. "It's just a joke," he added after a moment.

The MP's words sparked a wave of indignation – both among politicians from other parties and from KO itself. – We are at an important moment for us, an important moment for the country. We are at the peak of the election campaign and we all have to be very careful – said Zbigniew Konwiński, head of the KO Parliamentary Club.

In the same statement, Konwiński spoke of a "wide range of punishments." The decision on what will happen to Witek will be made only after the elections. "This is an unacceptable statement, indefensible," commented Dorota Łoboda, spokeswoman for the KO club.

The MP from "what harm can it do to promise" was supposed to run for an important position in the Supreme Audit Office

As it turns out, however, unofficially there is already talk about what could be the biggest consequence for Witek. Wirtualna Polska reports that the MP was supposed to be seeking the position of vice-president of the Supreme Audit Office. His experience was supposed to work in his favor in the fight for this position - he worked for years at the Supreme Audit Office, among others as the chief specialist of state audit. "This is probably no longer relevant," the portal writes.

Changes at the head of NIK will most likely come in the summer. The current president of the chamber, Marian Banaś, ends his term in August. Although it is not impossible that he will be re-elected for another term, it is rather unlikely. Much will depend on the outcome of the presidential election and the direction the government takes.

The list of names to take over after Banaś is long. As Money recently listed, it is to include Minister in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister Maciej Berek, Member of the Monetary Policy Council Przemysław Litwiniuk and the current Deputy Head of the Supreme Audit Office Jacek Kozłowski.
