The Deputy Speaker of the Riigikogu Arvo Aller told ERR that the board has not discussed the dismissal of the long-serving advisor.
Aller does not yet know whether to support the official's reinstatement. He said the chancellery made the dismissal decision itself.
Aller has not read the document describing the reason for the dismissal. He said the board does not give such instructions to the chancellery.
The official worked on the gambling tax bill, which turned out to be costly for the state. Aller believed the political responsibility lies with the MPs.
Aller does not know what the official's exact duties were. He said the chancellery sets job responsibilities with internal rules.
Aller sees no political reason behind the advisor's dismissal. He said the issue was not on the board's agenda.
Aller cannot say whether the dismissal was fair. He is not aware of the investigation's content or results.
Aivar Kokk is collecting signatures to reinstate the official. Aller heard about this from the faction and the media.
Aller cannot say whether he will give his signature. He wants to see the arguments from both sides and the results of the investigation.
