Jerzy Woźniak, Deputy Head of the Sejm Chancellery, addressed the recent controversy surrounding MP Adam Gomola’s expense reports, stating the Chancellery’s role is to support, not pursue, members of parliament. Woźniak emphasized that MPs are considered public figures deserving of trust, and the Chancellery shouldn’t question their actions unless discrepancies are directly observed. He explained the Chancellery provides assistance to MPs but does not inherently scrutinize their financial dealings. During an interview with WP, Woźniak also discussed the existing parliamentary control mechanisms and acknowledged systemic gaps that remain. The comments follow scrutiny of Gomola’s expense claims, sparking debate about accountability for public funds. Woźniak’s position underscores a perceived hands-off approach to MP expenses within the Chancellery’s operational framework.
