Volt Calls for Audit of Land Registry: Lack of Oversight Costs Citizens

The Volt party has expressed serious concerns regarding the malfunctions and institutional gaps observed in the Cyprus Land Registry. The party argues that these deficiencies are not merely administrative problems, but indicate a state lacking adequate oversight and accountability. According to Volt, property security is fundamental to the rule of law and economic stability, and the lack of institutional reliability undermines citizens' trust. Volt emphasizes that the problem is not the absence of procedures, but the lack of mechanisms to implement, control, and correct them. To address these issues, Volt proposes specific institutional solutions, such as mandatory parliamentary oversight of critical administrative services with clear accountability, full digitization and transparency of procedures, the establishment of legislative timelines and administrative responsibility for delays, and the strengthening of the administrative and technological competence of the Land Registry. The party emphasizes that politics is judged by the effectiveness of institutions in practice and commits to ensuring control, accountability, and the application of rules. Volt's announcement is a critique of the current state of the Land Registry and a proposal for improvement, aiming to strengthen citizens' trust in the state.
