The directive of the Minister of the Interior to deliver today the seal and the keys of the Community authority, the step-down of the community leader of Kouklia, was finally implemented, after tension and intense spirits prevailed in the building of the Community Council.
Michalis Nikolaou finally handed over to the representative of the Prefect of Paphos, although he had not initially consented, announcing that he would bring the decision to stop him to justice. He has also accused previous community councils of mismanagement and the government of covering up illegalities he has highlighted with its decisions.
We recall that the termination of the Community Governor of Kouklia came after a letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which justified it, citing the deranged situation that has prevailed in the Kouklia Council for a long time and the continuous involvement of mechanisms such as the Audit Office, the Police and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs itself.
The Minister of the Interior has announced that until the next local government elections are held, the Community Governor of Kouklia will be replaced by the Prefect of Paphos, Mary Lambrou.
