Proposal to Transfer the Fund to the Grants Service of the Ministry of Finance - Document Submitted to the Institutions Committee

Members of the Social Support Fund disagree with its abolition, as proposed by AKEL, and propose its transfer to the Grants and Subsidies Service of the Ministry of Finance. The Auditor General, Andreas Antoniades, submitted this proposal in writing to the House Institutions Committee. From March 2023 to the end of 2025, the Fund raised €6.4 million from private donations, however, the identity of the donors remains unknown due to opinions from the Attorney General and the Personal Data Protection Commissioner, which prevented parliamentary control of the Fund.
