"It is the big gamble" to overturn the climate of mistrust that prevails in society towards the institutions, said the newly appointed Transparency Commissioner, Harris Poyiatzis." It is a great honour, I feel a very heavy burden for the responsibility we have as an Authority to carry out our work," he added.
Asked about the measures the Independent Commission against Corruption intends to take to combat the phenomenon, he noted that "we will make a plan, which I hope will be operational and practical". As he said, he has some initial ideas, but he did not want to share them before they were discussed with the other members of the Commission for collective decisions to be taken.
He noted that their official appointment has not yet been made, and the newly appointed members have not yet been able to communicate with each other. At the moment, an attempt is being made to resolve practical issues, such as finding housing and staffing the new Commission, followed by its first session, which is expected to take place in the coming days.
