Deputies of the Solidarity Electoral Action announced on 22 March that they want to appoint a parliamentary commission to examine allegations that President Aleksander Kwasniewski committed financial irregularities when he headed the Youth and Physical Culture Committee in 1989, PAP reported.
"Gazeta Polska" has formerly reported that some $80 million was illegally diverted from the account of the Central Tourism and Recreation Fund, which was subordinated to the committee managed by Kwasniewski. Kwasniewski_s chief lawyer Ryszard Kalisz said all Kwasniewski_s activities in the Physical Culture Committee have already been checked by the Supreme Audit Chamber, which found no irregularities.
