Investigation requested into Trimiklini community infrastructure and building usage

Andreas Christofi, president of the Agronomo Agricultural Labour Party, has sent open letters to Cypriot authorities calling for investigations into two separate issues in the community of Trimiklini. The first involves the use of a community-owned building by the Office of the Commissioner for the Development of Mountainous Communities, which has occupied the premises since March 2020. Concerns have been raised by community members regarding whether the building was granted without a rental fee, a claim that Christofi has requested authorities to verify through the disclosure of official records.

Simultaneously, the party has requested a probe into the administrative and financial management of the local irrigation board. Despite reports of over 500,000 euros spent on cleaning and repair works at the local dam—including 200,000 euros in state funding—the facility has reportedly remained non-functional for 15 years. This lack of progress has caused significant hardship for local farmers and fruit growers who rely on the infrastructure for their livelihoods. The letters have been addressed to various officials, including the Auditor General, the Independent Authority Against Corruption, and the Limassol District Officer, demanding a full audit and accountability for the public funds utilized.
