“The Prime Minister and Ministers may not hold any other elective or appointive office, may not work in any business, commercial, or other private establishments or enterprises, nor may they receive any remuneration other than that established for their respective governmental duties and payment for creative activities.”
This article bars the Prime Minister and Ministers from combining their office with other activities. They may not hold any other elective or appointive office, work in private enterprises, or receive other remuneration. The only exception is payment for creative activities.
A businessperson appointed as a Minister must step down as head of their company; they may, however, continue to receive royalties for a book they wrote.
Memorise the exception: the only permitted additional income is payment for creative activities. Compare with the parallel rule for Seimas members in Article 60.
