Official ethics chief resigns

Valentukevičius wants to officially finish his service in the post on March 20. His dismissal still requires a vote in Seimas plenary.

Pranckietis in January called on Valentukevičius to resign, saying that the chairman harmed the commission’s reputation when he made a unilateral decision that Greta Kildišienė, who was then a member of the Seimas, was not under the obligation to declare that she was driving a car leased by her mother from Agrokoncernas, a company owned by Ramūnas Karbauskis, the LFGU chairman. The ethics chief maintains his answer to Kildisiene was made in strict accordance to the law.
