RIK Board of Directors Dismisses Director of Television Elmo Neocleous

The RIK Board of Directors has decided not to confirm Elmo Neocleous in the position of Director of Television, effectively dismissing him from the organization. Mr. Neocleous had been appointed in 2022 and was on probation, as stipulated for public employees. Following complaints against him, he was suspended in June 2024 and the investigation into these complaints has not yet been completed. The Board of Directors had extended his probationary appointment, hoping for the completion of the investigation, but with the extension expiring, it decided not to proceed with his confirmation.
