RIK: Elmos Remains on Suspension, Two Board Members Resign

Rapid developments are unfolding at RIK, with Elmos Neocleous remaining on suspension due to the ongoing disciplinary investigation. Simultaneously, two members of the Board of Directors, Christina Sarri and Sophocles Markidis, have submitted their resignations, believing that the board can no longer function institutionally. Elmos Neocleous had initially been dismissed, but the decision was later reversed and he was made a permanent employee, following a change of opinion by some members of the board. Yesterday's board meeting decided to continue the disciplinary proceedings against him. The resignation of the two board members is due to the atmosphere prevailing in the semi-governmental organization. There are reports that another member of the board may also resign within the day. The situation at RIK is tense and developments are expected to continue, as the disciplinary proceedings against Elmos Neocleous remain ongoing and the composition of the board has changed.
