Local authorities warned to act within law after nepotism complaints

All municipal and village councils must act in accordance with the general principles of the law, interior ministry permanent secretary Elikkos Elia said on Thursday, after the Polis Chrysochous municipality was accused of nepotism and unlawful procedures in its recruitment decisions.

He told the Cyprus News Agency that all elected officials, whether mayors, deputy mayors, community leaders, or council members, must respect, adhere to and act faithfully in line with the general principles of administrative law.
