End of term. And then what?
The Rzeczpospolitej Editorial Office notes that Marian Banaś ends his six-year word in late August 2025. Despite the fact that he will turn 70 next year, he is ready for re-election. However, according to the politicians of the ruling coalition, there is no chance.
There is simply a hazard that Banas will leave his successor, elected by the Sejm, to the home organized with his people in key positions, making it hard to appeal them.
President Banas never held competitions for executive positions despite the requirements of the NIK Act. All directors at the office and in delegations have the position of acting. Only the heads of 2 offices: Organization and Accounting are the exception. specified persons may be released at any time, while those selected in competitions have five-year removal protection. Banaś admitted that this allows you to keep your employees under control, and those who failed can easy be fired.
The situation is presently changing as NIK has launched competitions for key positions in the office and 16 regional delegations. The “Rzeczpospolita” emphasises that Banas is besides planning changes in the NIK Statute, which can further strengthen its influence.
Earlier controversy around Banasia
Marian Banaś was the focus of attention a fewer years ago. On September 21, 2019, an investigative magazine “Superwizjer” aired a study suggesting his relation with the criminal world. 2 days later Banaś suspended his activities in NIK until the completion of checks on his property statements conducted by the Central Anti-corruption Office.
Following the parliamentary elections that took place on October 13, 2019, any media reported his alleged resignation as president of the ultimate Chamber of Control, however, they were rapidly denied. On October 17, 2019, Marian Banaś returned to his duties after unpaid leave.
As a consequence of the audit findings, on November 29, 2019, the CBA made a announcement to the D.A. about the anticipation of a crime being committed by Marian Banasia, pointing to suspicions about false property statements, concealing the real property and undocumented sources of income.
On October 13, 2023, TVP Info released a recording of the president of NIK, Marian Banasia, with erstwhile Vice-President of the Court of State Mark Chmaj. They discussed the control of the Confederacy and the start of Banas' boy Jacob from her electoral list to prevent this organization from entering the coalition with the Law and Justice.
