Insufficient Answers from the Committee Raise Concerns About Former Officials' Job Applications

The House Institutions Committee examined the operation of the Committee for the Control of Employment in the Private Sector by Former State Officials, following the release of a video containing references to suspicious funding. During the meeting, a file with applications for the employment of former officials was submitted, but no specific answers were given to the questions raised. The President of the Control Committee, Gianna Hatzichanna, clarified that the references in the meeting were general and did not concern any specific person, due to the ongoing investigation into the controversial video. She emphasized that the Committee's data is available to all Members of Parliament. MP Irene Charalambidou requested and received the file with the applications behind closed doors, but stated that no answers were given to her questions. The meeting highlighted the lack of transparency and the difficulty in accessing information regarding the employment of former officials in the private sector.
