Interior Ministry Still Awaiting Minutes for Disputed Polis Municipality Hiring

The Ministry of Interior is still awaiting the minutes of the Polis Municipality meetings regarding the disputed hiring of 18 seasonal workers, for which an investigation has been ordered. The investigation has been delayed due to the non-receipt of the minutes from the Municipality. The complaint was made by a Deputy Mayor and concerns abuse of power and mismanagement, as the majority of the Municipal Council proceeded to rehire the seasonal workers without a call for applications, while four members of the Council are related to the workers. The Deputy Mayor claims that the decision to rehire was illegal and that the vote was held while Council members had a personal interest. Despite proposals for a public announcement of the positions , the majority insisted on the Mayor's proposal.
