In the opinion of the municipality, the fact that Vaivod has been recognized as a suspect in the criminal proceedings initiated for the possible commission of a criminal offense does not allow the municipality to continue the employment legal relationship with him and is an important reason to apply to the court for the termination of the employment legal relationship.
The fact that the Vaivod is suspected of bribery is incompatible with working in the municipality and in the department responsible for important city infrastructure development projects.
The status of the suspect also undermines the reputation of the municipality, as the employee, most likely, acted contrary to the principles of the rule of law and good governance, as well as increased the public’s distrust of the state administration and the municipality, according to the municipality.
According to the fifth part of Article 101 of the Labor Law, any circumstance that, based on considerations of virtue and mutual fairness, does not allow continuing the employment legal relationship is recognized as an important reason. The question of the existence of an important reason is decided by the court at its discretion, according to the municipality.
It has already been reported that at the beginning of March, the management of the Riga City Council instructed to suspend Vaivoda from the position of acting director of the department for the maximum period of time allowed by law – three months.
It is planned to announce an open competition for the position of director of the Department of Outer Space and Mobility.
