Cyprus Parliament Committee Examines Post-Public Office Employment

The House Institutions Committee examined the operation of the Committee for the Control of Employment in the Private Sector by Former State Officials, following reports of suspicious funding and investments involving former Commerce Minister George Lakotripis. During the session, a file containing applications from former officials seeking employment in the private sector, covering the period 2019-2025, was submitted. However, according to MPs, no specific answers were given, as the President of the Control Committee, Gianna Hatzichanna, cited the ongoing criminal investigation into the controversial video and the possibility of committee members being called to testify. Ms. Hatzichanna assured that the Committee's data is available to the President of the Parliament and all MPs. The session was held partly behind closed doors, where the file with the applications was delivered.
