AKEL Submits Bill to Abolish the 'Support Scheme'

AKEL has submitted a bill to the Parliament for the abolition of the Independent Social Support Scheme. According to the party, the bill aims to ensure the transparent, institutional and effective use of public funds for social support. The proposal provides for the transfer of the Scheme's reserve and responsibilities to the Cyprus State Scholarships Foundation (IKYK) within three months of the law's enactment. The IKYK will take over the Scheme's social mission, operating with transparent procedures.
