The lot is the indirect income - and the Governing Council


If the economic downturn you want to ensure their future, try to access the traffic minister Ainārs Šlesers (LPP / LC). Šlesera heart is extensive, but the supervision of the Ministry - 15 state-owned enterprises. Of the 93 members of these councils is linked to a 26 LPP / LC - as members, advisers or contributors.

It iznāktu average pension in 9800 for pensioners. Around 3500 teachers' loads. Increased salary around 2400 nurses. 2000 policemen would suffice for payment. The same amount is spent on about 140 members of the Soviet state enterprises. Last year, their salaries paid at least 1.2 million lats. Why Godmanim negribas saving at their expense? Or because of all the parties to the majority of councils are sēdošo LPP / LC members? Or maybe because almost half a million legally leaves lots pockets?

Šlesera closest advisers in the range raujas or the parties. Consider, achievers lauri Dripi. For several years, reliable pastrādājis at Šlesera Ministry Dripe board chairman last year in four companies (but he had five posts), the national bread together earned 77.8 thousand lats. Now he is a Latvian National Radio and Television Center (Center's) board chairman. This is a more stable position than the councils, which typically varies with changes in composition of the coalition parties.

LVRTC council headed by Godmanis spokesman Edgars Vaikulis. This is nothing that is unquestionably cute Vaikulis politics came from the news agency BNS and experience in business is minimal. But he has long worked in the GAP good and very hard - in parallel with these works Vaikulis last year was also a parliamentary secretary in Parliament, Šlesera advisor, LPP press secretary and worked in Riga International Bus Board (no longer). Vaikulis believes his two higher education (political science and communications) and the slow work of the public sector makes him as entirely appropriate for the office.

Krisjanis Peters. A former MP, Šlesera former office manager, and facilitator of a close friend, in the wider society known as the Riga airport manager. But he is the Chairman of the Board, not only there. Peters has worked in parallel with the Latvian Air, airBaltic, the privatization agency, the State Information Network Agency (VITA) and the Center's board. Nearly 99 thousand lats.

Politizē of the Board

To get the service, should not be even close Šlesera facilitator. Caurkritušajai MEP Jevgēnijai Stalidzānei (LPP) was a place of Latvian road maintainer Board (EUR 610 per month), eksdeputātam and sports journalist Valērijam Karpuškinam VITA board (EUR 199 per month). Postal Board appointed Integration Minister Oskars Kastens Adviser Anda Oak (EUR 855 per month), although the secretariat of the sole link to the post could be that the company is working both Latvians and Russians. Caurkritušajam Member, one moment Šlesera oponentam Eriks Jēkabsons uzradusies place Latvian air Board. 4050 lats per month.

Public enterprises are not only the board safer, but they also better paid - and pay higher ceiling, though premiums may be paid by the councils can not. On Saturday the study shows that political argument - we have only the councils, boards of working professionals - is a lie.

Partijiska infiltration has also begun the boards. The great majority of those where the greatest cost.

Ideally atalgotajā extremely well pelnošajā Latvian National Forest Board of Governors of the seven members of the board of the four are linked to parties.

The judge Aivars Caurkritušais member is from the People's Party (Ls 7011 per month on average), Carl Boldiševicu (who is still one of the largest affiliate of Rural Development Fund Management Board) - a long zemsaviešu fraction of the employee (an average of Ls 6972 per month). The office is also a member of the board Modris Grantiņi and Andrei Brūvelis. Both monthly earn slightly more than 7000 lats.

All four are also the lot of the big donors - since 2002, when KNAB was created an electronic database of donors, Judge TP ziedojis Ls 46 000, Boldiševicu LZS - LVL 29 698, Grantiņi LZS - LVL 22 860, Brūvelis LZP - LVL 3720.

Politicians in or associated with them are the Privatization Agency Board of Governors - the Clouds Postman called Mikhail Pietkevičs (TP) and the former John Straumes Assistant Vineta Stolere (she also TB / LNNK Justice Ministry attachments Courthouse Agency Board). Latvia's Board of Governors headed by the TA lotto agent Arnis Razminovičs (he also managed TP Finance Ministry of State property (VNĪ) board and removing the Diplomatic Service Board). VNĪ board chairman Maris Kaijaks is tautpartijietis (he also Latvian air board member), board member Elmar švedų ir from office. Both are major contributors lot.

Riga Airport's Board, chaired by Peters, LVRTC - Dripe, Latvia's air traffic - tautpartijietis Marsan, the Electronic Communications Directorate - izbijušais Minister of Latvia's Way Semantika, and the board is Andrei Požarnovs (TB / LNNK). The RTA Board of Governors appointed tautpartijietis Valdis Dvinskis, Latvian Railways (headed by LPP / LC big contributor Ugis Magone) board of works Aigars Kalvitis (TA) and facilitator of the large batch Aivars Strakšas contributor.

Boards of politicization rate compared with the councils, yet is pure punk. By the same family names are repeated with amazing regularity totally unconnected areas - reveal enough caurkritušo Saeima John Charles Greiskalna Straumes or income statements. They are not the only "universal soldiers" - the Ministry of Transport to approve the Council configurations are extremely similar, and they are not only members of the GAP.

Šlesers far from the only one who cares about us. For example, Kalvitis former press secretary Arno Pjatkins, adviser to John Rigas and former Dzanuškāns measured by the current Minister of Economy Kaspars Gerhard press secretary Inga Spriņķe - all proven to be less competent telecom professionals to be appointed to Lattelecom board. Kalvitis Assistant Vineta Šnore arranged airport board. Godmanis office manager Juris Radzevičs led by the Latvian postal board at a time when it suffered losses of millions of lats, but now operates Latvenergo board. Adviser to the Prime Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs Armin Sprogis (LVL 1,500 per month salary) operates Latvian air board, Counselor Education, Culture and Welfare Juris Smits - LDz Latvia and road maintainer Board.

Saturdays study shows that 27 public joint stock companies and the largest corporation to the state share (airBaltic, Latvia Cellphone, Lattelecom) from more than 140 workers last year, at least 91 council members are linked to parties. Most of the LPP / LC (minimum 36), 22 with the TA, with 19 office, 11 of the TB / LNNK. The opposition is represented by very small - can be found along with four other persons.

The only unpoliticised council is the Mortgage and Land Bank and the Latvian Maritime Administration.

For saving mode to open a debate on the Soviet depolitizēšanu more constructive, decided to make what is not done until now - to calculate how they paid. The savings and avoid "directly" the state budget, but would remain in companies for which they are in times of economic downturn doubtless be happy.

Soviet wages paid last year at least 1.2 million lats. And it is only the tip of the iceberg, because the councils are also many local businesses.

It does not necessarily mean that politicians would not be good for business leaders and therefore should not be the boards. For example, the Latvian National Forest Board Chairman Anatolijs Gorbunovs was raised from the office, but on the field speaks to their satisfaction. However, a large proportion of politicians and the wider profile allows no doubt as to the sites they have acquired competence. One of the most notable is the fact that most of their corporate board, which pays most of the big companies in which government regulations allow the Council to be 11 people and the annual salary exceeds 10 000 lats or Ls 900 per month. Often, this amount is paid for attending one meeting a month and picking the relevant documents.

"Of course, 11 people on board has been great," said a former head of the Latvian postal Gints Škodovs. "Enough with five to seven, but it has already decided by a shareholder. I agree that this council would be some party funding source. "

According to current research Saturday Councils and board member since 2002, lots legally donated 453 thousand lats. But the real figures are higher, because many of them also donated before.

Anti-corruption investigators Delna in 2005 concluded that their donations to the GAP represents 20% of all income, LZP - 17%, LZS - 16%, TP - 15%, JL - 6%.

Low wages?

"Council is, of course, is needed. They are highly regulated wages that their qualifications are on a very low, too low. Very low wages at a very high qualifications. Wages are low, "said this week in TV debates, Finance Minister Atis Slakteris.

Slakteris on the size of the wage boards should be informed, as his adviser on Ingūna Gulbe appointed profitable Latvian National Forest Board, she is also the Rural Development Fund Board. Gulbe while giving advice on agriculture and finance ministers, atima Slakteris tracking regardless of the ministry, and last year just for this post only earned 33 thousand lats.

Most council members' salaries may be Ls 900, but the board's chairman - Ls 1200 per month. The wage boards for workers down, depending on size. The ceiling was established in 2002 former Prime Minister Einars Repse the government to "rein in the anarchy that a transaction with the Boards wages because council already was gone very well rewarded", says the then Finance Minister Valdis Dombrovskis.

Politicians defending the Soviet members make a responsible job, monitoring and informing the Board of his party for business purposes, and private councils are also well rewarded. The former was more open parliamentary Speaker Ingrida UDRE after leaving the Center's board in early 2007: "The Council is a political formation, which itself does not accept any decisions, because everything before it is determined the coalition board. There are people who want to be puppets, and there are people who do not want. My conscience does not allow the council to formally present that actually did not. "

Godmanis politizētās council does not eliminate only on the orders of the board and the salary freeze in 2008 in the run-up to limit the salaries of the ministry representatives in the form of equity share holders, and is willing to consider (which does not do so) the number be reduced. "There is no reason to state-owned enterprises operate on the other basis than the private companies. In addition, it would also be a question of discrimination because the person is a politician, "said the Prime Minister spokesman Vaikulis.

LPP / LC member of the board Andris Berzins Godmanis before the government called for the approval to withdraw from Soviet-politicization, because few businesses remained. "With such a position, we remove enough large shadow of suspicion from both the government in general, to create a more accurate picture of the company for its own purposes."

He was not the first. "The business sphere is jādepolitizē." The 1997 proposed LC President Valdis Birkavs.

"On the one hand, politicians sometimes paglābj from undue criticisms. On the other - we have degraded the role of the Board. While the politicians can understand. They will be present everywhere, all aptaustīt. While things have to be divided - as it is called by one other politician, meanwhile, will be a political council, "said the PA leader John Naglis. Ten years ago.

Visaizņemtākais man

Šlesera advisor Liepins, which the Minister ziedojis lot more than 65 000 lats, working seven works: Riga Freeport Board, the Latvian National Forest (LSF) board, is board chairman of Latvian post (LP), the airport, the Latvian road maintainer, Road Traffic Safety Directorate ( RTA), the Latvian State roadway. Annual income - 108 778 percent. Not too far from the best of Latvia pelnošā state employee, the Riga Freeport driver Leonid Loginova Ls 10 934 monthly. Liepiņam owned enterprise grb while the construction of private Ozolniekos. Local story that he was actually managing the construction work. He argues that doing so only at weekends.

Big tall husband to determine the status of men performing the typical svītraino suits me expects the airport VIP area before the council meets. His day had started seven of the Ozolniekiem leaving for Riga. Eight were in Board meeting, 11 work in the office of the LP Board, the airport in seven meetings, day beigšoties around 21-22. "I as the president of the Board are held in all the time, my reference point is the Council meeting, the issue papers, I shall at all times komunicēju with the governing board," he says. "I do not have to be ashamed of. All the companies in which I work, make money, and I hope that the post next year succeed pulled profitable waters. "

Liepina case and is not liable for the tawdry incompetence - he has worked in senior positions in the press distribution (PLUS director, the press association, Director General, Daily Sales Manager) and real estate business (leader Šlesera and Viesturs Koziola project on Salienas construction near the town of Jurmala highway). From there, "casually known Šlesers summoned him as counsel, and generous ziedotāja career public enterprises.

Liepins believes that politicized councils have their own advantages. "If a person is a party member, he has the responsibility of his party ahead of what he was doing, and the lot is responsible to their voters. If there will be a singer, a lawyer's lawyer, his responsibility will be only half - came, izrīkojās inadequate, leading to losses and resigned from the board, and what's next? "He says. "Yes, a driver might say, they are kept well-paid, but who refuses to go the same route and get there that you would have the confidence that you have confidence in the minister or the Party and the delegates. Well, go and get it up a level because there is a competition! "

Liepins reluctantly talks about the reasons why Šlesers chosen to direct him. Sometimes it sounds rather than as a source of profit, but pure altruism. "When Ainars told me to take over that post, was not happy. (..) But, knowing that at the time was politically Ainars hair hanging over, I did that, he held each Wednesday at was called the Ministry of Transport companies accountable, it would have deserved, "asserts Liepins. They did not Šleseru with friends, but he is respectful of Transport Ministers of ģimenisko guidance and resolute.

Painful experience

Before the privatization agency in 1994, the government did not even know how many businesses it owns. Transforming state enterprises on the stock companies, appeared in council and board. Andra Slices of government during the first batch requested quotas boards, and then it became a normal practice. Lists of members and the region, confirmed the party's mass was divided into the government coalition Cooperation Council.

Along with the Soviet politicizing the birthplace of the suspicion that they use lots of black kasu supplement, namely, the wage boards seated clearing the lot in hand (unless there are iesēdināti pārlaist difficult times until the next attempt to be elected). There is no proven case, but the reflection is enough.

This former head of defunct percent Andrei Krastins in 2003 revealed that the company Ventspils Nafta (VN) during the privatization process in 1997, three political forces - LNNK, Latvia's path and the Democratic Party Saimnieks - was provided for the fifth tranche of shares, which get a private investor in VN Latvian oil transit (LNT). Percent would be 6%, DPS and the LC - by 7%.

From 1995. up to 1997 meetings of the UN along with the privatization of LNT consultants also participated in the joint owners of the political parties. Originally was intended that the party will not receive the same share, but they were allowed to recommend companies that buy the shares, and later in the sponsorship of political forces. Percent of the games were excluded, the place took over the Fatherland and Freedom, claimed Mr Krastins. This was not a classic case of the lot is used council cash acquisition, but outlined the scheme, which it was created alongside the councils.

The second case was in 1997, Latvenergo stolen three million lats, who disappeared, assignment to the Bank Baltija debt offshore company in Liechtenstein. Vaininiekus prosecutor's office are looking for šobaltdien. It is believed that the affair could have happened because it had involved politicians, cited unnamed one on behalf of "patron" who could be one of the organizers. At the time, was first raised the question whether corporate boards should be the politicians and what is their responsibility.
