On 16 October, former presidential secretary Cenckiewicz posted a screenshot of a September bank transfer totaling 9,856.75 PLN, prompting prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek to demand clarification.
Cenckiewicz Reveals September Pension
The screenshot shows a credit dated 29 September for 9,856.75 PLN, sent to Cenckiewicz’s account from the President’s Office. “This is my last pension from the President’s Office for September, 9,856.75 PLN,” he wrote, adding an emoticon and promising updates if the amount changes.
He answered prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek’s query about salary levels, citing a Dziennik Gazety Prawnej article that states the office refuses to disclose how much Karol Nawrocki pays Cenckiewicz.
Political Reactions to Salary Disclosure
State Secretary Marcin Przydacz dismissed the prosecutor’s inquiry as unnecessary, arguing that the regulation is clear to anyone familiar with it and criticizing journalists and prosecutors for asking “obvious” questions.
Similar comments about the incident were made by Confederation leaders Slawomir Mentzen, Stanislaw Żerko, and Artur Dziambor.
Presidential Office Budget Expands to 325.5 Million PLN
On 14 October, *Rzeczpospolita* reported that the 2026 budget for the Presidential Office will exceed 300 million PLN for the first time, reaching 325.5 million PLN—about 892 thousand PLN per day.
The increase is attributed mainly to higher personnel costs, especially in cyber‑security, and a 4.8 million PLN expansion of Karol Nawrocki’s travel expenses, a 50 % rise from the previous year. Salary raises for office staff total 11.4 million PLN, with 75 million PLN earmarked for the purpose, according to the daily.
