State rail track company says no trace of contract with ANO politician

The Czech state-owned rail track authority has said that it can find no record of the influential Prague politician Radmila Kleslová being paid by it. The announcement follows news that the former head of the ANO party In Prague was paid to the tune of 95,000 crowns a month for her consultancy services. Czech Radio cited an agreement in its possession showing Kleslová worked directly for a former director of the rail authority. Former director Jiří Kolar said the lack of documentation might have been the fact that most of the reports by Kleslová were given in face to face meetings. Kleslová stepped down as deputy chairwoman of the ANO party last week and has signalled she want to resign her top position in the Prague party organisation as well. She has been subject to criticism for the series of high paid consultancy positions accumulated with state companies during her political prominence.
