Biography

Education

He graduated from the University of Wrocław and obtained a master's degree in political science in 2010. He also completed the ARGO Top Public Executive program organized by the National School of Public Administration in collaboration with IESE Business School in Barcelona (2018) and training at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville. In 2019, he defended his doctoral dissertation at the Faculty of National Security of the War Studies University. He conducted classes for students at the Opole University in the security policy workshop. [3]

Political career

In 2003, he joined the Young Forum of Law and Justice (PiS). He worked, among other positions, as a marketing specialist at the International School of Logistics and Transport. He published in the journal "Logistyka" (Logistics). He was a member of the political cabinet of the Opole Voivode, an assistant to MEP Ryszard Legutko, and a member of the "Gazeta Polska" club in Opole. He also served as the vice-president of the "Stop Corruption" Association.

In 2006, he joined the Civic Platform party and was elected to the Opole City Council on its slate for the first time. Shortly after the elections, he left this party and rejoined Law and Justice (PiS). In 2009, he completed his political science studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Wrocław. In 2010, he was re-elected in the local government elections and assumed the role of chairman of the PiS councillors' club that same year.

At his initiative, Opole was expanded by including parts of villages from the surrounding municipalities within its borders. This decision was made despite protests from the residents of the annexed villages (over 90% of those voting in consultations opposed it). The Council of Ministers adopted the project (which came into effect at the beginning of 2017) on July 19, 2016.

On 18 November 2015, Jaki became Secretary of State in the Ministry of Justice [4] [5] responsible for, among other things, supervision over the Prison Service.

[10] [ failed verification ] He is also the chairman of the Team for the Protection of Family Autonomy and Family Life in the Ministry of Justice.

Jaki initiated the establishment of the Verification Committee for Reprivatisation [11] [ failed verification ] [12] and became its chairman on 11 May 2017. [13] [14] [15] He has been the author of a registry of sex offenders in Poland since 1 October of the same year, [16] [17] as well as a government programme for the employment of prisoners which has helped to increase employment among convicts by 50%. [18] [19]

Jaki is the chairman of the Polish Council of Penitentiary Policy. [20] He stated that "stopping Islamization is his Westerplatte". [21] [22]

On 11 October, Jaki received the "Polski Kompas" (Poland's Compass) [23] award granted by the Gazeta Bankowa monthly for his "fight against a reprivatisation mafia". [24]

Later career

Jaki gained almost 260,000 votes in the 2019 European Parliament election in Poland. [25] He is responsible for the "Save the Heroes" campaign promoting the restoration of streets named in honor of generals Emil August Fieldorf "Nil" and Zygmunt Szendzielarz "Łupaszka”, as well as the legislation initiative "Let's Restore History Lessons at Schools” [26]
