Officials of the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau (KNAB) performed investigative procedures in the office of Valmiera County’s Development Office’s Project Management Department, as LETA was told by deputy CEO of Valmiera County Council and manager of Valmiera County’s Development Office Evija Nagle.
She said she is not authorised to provide information as to which projects KNAB is currently inspecting.
Valmiera County Council chairman Jānis Baiks (For Valmiera and Vidzeme) does not answer her mobile phone, LETE reports.
Nagle says Baiks is currently on vacation, but he did end it abruptly yesterday and was present at work. Today, however, he is on vacation again. Nagle could not say why the chairman had returned to work so suddenly.
LETA has not been able to secure a comment on the situation from KNAB so far.
