After the scandalous circumstances surrounding Sinkevičienė's employment were revealed, there is a stir in the Seimas

„Given that questions have been raised regarding the fictitious or purely formal employment of individuals linked to politicians, I believe an anti-corruption assessment is required. As we are talking here about public funds, about the use of funds by public sector institutions, I will propose (the question – ELTA) that this be included on the agenda so that these circumstances can be clarified. Our next meeting may be in a week,“ Anušauskas told ELTA.

As reported, on Wednesday, the LRT Investigations Department revealed that Sinkevičienė, the wife of Prime Minister Sinkevičius, not only became head of the Public and International Relations Department at Kaunas District Municipality without a competitive selection process, but also works at Raudondvario Dvaras, which is subordinate to the municipality.

It is stated that Sinkevičienė works remotely at the manor on a 0.5-time basis as a public relations specialist. However, her contact details are not publicly available, and the institution's deputy director claimed not to be aware of such a colleague. According to her, there is no specific person at the manor responsible for public relations; the head of the institution handles these matters.

Sinkevičius wife has been working at Kaunas District Council since 2013. In 2023, upon returning from maternity leave, she became a senior specialist in the Public and International Relations Department, and in July 2024 she was appointed head of the department without a competitive selection process.

Sinkevičienė’s income last year exceeded 73,500 euros. She received approximately a quarter of this sum for her work at Raudondvario Dvaras.

According to data from the LRT Investigations Department, other individuals linked to the Kaunas District Social Democrats are working at Raudondvario Dvaras. Among the institution’s employees, whose names are not publicly disclosed, are an adviser to the district mayor and her husband; an adviser to the Minister of Education, Raminta Popovienė, in the Seimas; the son of the former director of the manor and leader of the Kaunas District Social Democrats, Snieguolė Navickienė; and other individuals.
