Resignations from the ONEK Board of Directors - Allegations of Irregularities

Three members of the Board of Directors of the Youth Organization of Cyprus (ONEK) submitted their resignations shortly before the start of the Board meeting, which was scheduled to discuss issues of proper functioning and administrative supervision. The President of the Board, Konstantina Achilleos, described the timing of the resignations as raising reasonable questions, given the prior discussion of possible procedural irregularities or service failures. Ms. Achilleos stressed that the discussion concerned the need to investigate possible irregularities and failures in the operation of the Organization. Although the resignation of the members is respected as a personal choice, the timing creates doubts about the intention to fully investigate potential liabilities. The President of the Board assured that ONEK does not serve personal interests, but the youth of Cyprus and the public interest. She stated her commitment to transparency, accountability and institutional consistency, as well as to ensuring the smooth functioning of the Organization. Ms. Achilleos stated that she remains committed to the role assigned to her by the President of the Republic, emphasizing the importance of the independence and integrity of the Organization.
