For the daily and huge problems that the free province of Famagusta faces on a daily basis, AKEL Famagusta MP, Giannakis Gavriel, refers to one main problem. "The government's indifference to deal seriously with the issue of understaffing of state services in the region," he says.
"Unfortunately, the state's inaction to make substantial progress in staffing state services in the region has the impact of not serving the public of the province," he adds.
He goes on to say that "we are saddened to learn that for the past two months, the Department of Road Transport has been understaffed as one of the two staff members is on suspension and the Department is only staffed with one person to serve the entire province. As we found out, the one and only person on duty became ill and as a result, that Department has been closed for days. As a result, residents of the area are forced to travel to Larnaca to be served."
"This is unacceptable, as the government should have had the foresight to ensure that the Department is staffed with the required number of persons to serve the public of an entire province," he added.
In conclusion, he said that while as AKEL, "many times we have highlighted the problem of the understaffing of Government Departments and the inconvenience suffered by the residents of the region, our concerns are reaching the ears of the unhearing. Unfortunately, once again, we realized that the government is conspicuously indifferent to the problems that plague the free province of Famagusta and defiantly ignores the needs of the residents. We call once again on the responsible Minister to solve the problem immediately so that the residents of the free province of Famagusta do not suffer."
