AKEL Submits Bill to Abolish the 'Agency'

AKEL has submitted a bill to abolish the Independent Social Support Agency. The bill, co-signed by Kyriakos Hatzigiannis and Alexandra Attalidou, proposes the transfer of the Agency's funds and responsibilities to the Cyprus State Scholarships Foundation (ICSF) within three months of the bill's passage. According to AKEL, the ICSF will continue the Agency's social mission with transparent procedures, after fulfilling all its current obligations. The abolition of the Agency and the transfer of its responsibilities to the ICSF, according to the party, will ensure the effective and transparent use of public funds.
