AKEL: Government's Refusal to Submit Information on the First Lady's Foundation Questions Constitutional Order

AKEL denounces the government's refusal to submit to the Parliament the information on the donors of the First Lady's Foundation, characterizing this refusal as questioning the constitutional order. AKEL calls on the President of the Parliament to put a draft decision to a vote calling on the President of the Republic to submit all the information immediately. AKEL calls on all parties to vote in favor of the draft decision, safeguarding respect for the Parliament and its constitutional role as an independent legislative power and as an institutional body of democratic accountability. The government's refusal to submit the information raises questions about the transparency and accountability of the First Lady's Foundation and undermines parliamentary oversight. AKEL believes that the Parliament's power to exercise parliamentary control is not negotiable and that the government must comply with its constitutional obligations.
