Conflict of Interest Issue for Paphos Municipal Councillor

A conflict of interest has arisen for a Municipal Councillor in the Paphos Municipality, who also works as a teacher. According to the law, there is no distinction between permanent and temporary teachers, and holding both positions is considered incompatible. The Ministry of Interior, through the Prefect of Paphos, will ask the councillor to choose between his position on the Municipal Council and his position as a teacher. If he resigns from the councillor position, it will be filled by the first substitute candidate from the same combination. The complaint was submitted by phone to the Ministry of Interior, after initially being sent to the Ministry of Education, which referred to the relevant legal framework.
