Hussar states that the Riigikogu board is not involved in the dismissal of the advisor

Riigikogu Chairman Lauri Hussar clarified that the Riigikogu board had no role in the dismissal of a senior advisor involved in a disciplinary procedure.

In a recent clarification to members of the Riigikogu, Chairman Lauri Hussar emphasized that the board is not implicated in the dismissal of a senior advisor during a disciplinary proceeding. Hussar's statement comes amidst concerns over governance and personnel decisions within the Riigikogu, with specific regard to the authority of the chancellery director in such matters.

Hussar's advisor, Indrek Tarand, confirmed that the decision to dismiss the advisor was solely in the purview of the chancellery director, asserting that the board had not issued any directives relating to the matter. This statement aims to address any misconceptions regarding the board’s influence in personnel management and to reinforce the boundaries of responsibility among the Riigikogu's leadership.

Despite requests for further comments, Hussar did not respond directly to media inquiries. However, he communicated the importance of maintaining clarity on administrative decisions, reiterating to the Riigikogu members that the board's role is distinctly separate from that of the chancellery's personnel choices, thereby ensuring accountability within the institution.
