Audit Office assesses financial practices in Paphos municipality

The Audit Office of Cyprus held a meeting in Paphos to discuss ongoing concerns regarding the local municipality's financial operations. The Green Party–Citizens' Cooperation movement claims that an investigation into major municipal projects has commenced, citing allegations of misuse of public funds and abuse of power involving the Mayor of Paphos. While the political movement asserts that the probe is underway, the Audit Office has officially stated it can neither confirm nor deny these reports at this time. An Audit Office representative confirmed that a meeting regarding these matters took place in Paphos on Monday. The investigation focuses on reviewing various complaints related to the municipality's financial management. No further details on the scope or the timeline of the inquiry have been formally released by the state auditors. The controversy highlights growing concerns over local government transparency and the oversight of municipal projects.
