Charalambides hands human rights committee chair to Koukoumas

The House human rights committee will be chaired by Akel MP Giorgos Koukoumas, who is taking over office from his party colleague Irene Charalambides after the committee’s meeting on Monday.

“Today I am chairing the human rights committee for the last time,” Charalambides said.

“Mr Koukoumas is taking over and I am happy to hand over the chairmanship to such capable hands. I have always been in favour of him and what he says or writes to me, I will maintain this stance,” she said.
