Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Richard Takáč on Wednesday rejected recent statements by the chairman of the Supreme Audit Office (NKÚ), Ľubomír Andrassy, about conditions within the agriculture ministry. At an extraordinary press conference, he said that Andrassy is, in his view, lying and spreading false claims about corrupt practices in the ministry. teraz.sk ↗
The event was also attended by Deputy Speaker of Parliament Tibor Gašpar, State Secretary Vladimír Vnuk, and the director of the Agricultural Paying Agency, Marek Čepko. Takáč declared that, in his opinion, the NKÚ chairman had sided with the opposition through his statements and was starting to engage in opposition politics. Gašpar expressed a similar view, criticizing Andrassy's media appearances. hnonline.sk ↗
The response was prompted by Andrassy's recent statements in the media regarding the situation at the agriculture ministry. Takáč called them lies and publicly rejected them. Available information indicates that the ministry considers the audit chairman's claims to be false and politically motivated. hnonline.sk ↗
The dispute between the agriculture ministry's leadership and the NKÚ chairman thus continues in the public sphere. Further developments will depend on whether the Supreme Audit Office or its chairman respond to the statements made by Takáč and Gašpar, and whether additional findings or positions on the situation at the ministry are made public. teraz.sk ↗
