Questions raised over Digital Citizen app

There was nothing improper or irregular regarding a no-bid contract awarded to Greece to develop Cyprus’ Digital Citizen app, the government said on Tuesday, responding to a report by the auditor-general’s office.

The deputy ministry of research, innovation and digital policy was reacting to the findings of the Audit Office, which said questions of transparency hover over the direct assignment of the project – worth €1.5 million – to the Greek government via an inter-state agreement.
