Lithuanian journalist M. Sinkevičius reported that Prime Minister M. Sinkevičius addressed reporters in Vilnius on Wednesday regarding a recent event.
The Prime Minister stated that Interior Minister M. Katelynas informed him about the specific incident on Wednesday, following a Cabinet meeting. Addressing the matter, the Prime Minister issued instructions to the minister, demanding a comprehensive clarification of all details surrounding the event.
The clarification must address several key questions, including the reason for the late notification. Specifically, the Prime Minister questioned why information regarding the expected incident, scheduled for July 26, was only brought to light today. This prompted a review of the performance of relevant officials and their adherence to duty.
While expressing hope that officials performed their duties adequately, the Prime Minister voiced significant concern regarding the lack of prior disclosure of the information. He further noted that he understood that Minister Katelynas was also informed about the incident only today. The Prime Minister’s comments emphasized a need for transparency and accountability regarding how such critical information is managed and disseminated within government circles.
The directive signals a formal inquiry into the procedural failures that resulted in the details of the incident becoming known to senior leadership only at the time of the cabinet meeting.
