‘Akamas debacle will cost Cyprus dearly’
MPs pressured Agriculture Minister Maria Panayiotou to reveal information about the investigation on the Akamas road works. Auditor General Odysseas Michaelides requested the report last year to investigate irregularities in the road works. The government has not handed over the investigation to Michaelides, who aims to determine irreversible damages to Akamas and hold responsible parties accountable. The contractor chosen by the government is expected to make claims for delays that he caused. The government’s priority is to protect Akamas’ natural wealth and ensure projects have minimal impact on the environment. MPs raised concerns about the lack of transparency regarding the cause of the damage and who will be held accountable.
