Control Committee Discusses Social Support Agency Report Without Philippa Karssera

The Parliamentary Control Committee meeting regarding the Auditor General's report on the Social Support Agency was held without the presence of Philippa Karssera, due to prior professional commitments as she chairs a committee within the EU presidency. Her absence sparked reactions, with an AKEL MP arguing she should have been present given her previous role as chair of the Agency. The Auditor General's report reveals instances of companies making contributions to the Agency while in negotiations with the state for project contracts, with one company contributing over €10 million during these consultations. The Auditor General points out that these contributions create a special relationship and could influence state decisions. The Agency responded to the report, alleging political motives and manipulation of the audit.
