The President of the Republic, Mr Nicos Anastasiades, chaired a meeting on the waste management plant in Kossi tonight at the Presidential Palace.
After the meeting, Minister of Agriculture Costas Kadis, in a statement to journalists, said that "an enlarged meeting was held under the President of the Republic, which examined the issue of the lifespan of the landfill at the waste management plant in Kossii. It should be noted that after the closure of the Kotsiatis dog landfill, which was a contractual obligation of the Republic of Cyprus, the municipal waste of the Nicosia district was diverted to Kosii. This worked in the direction of filling the cell in a shorter period of time.
He added that despite the fact that the Ministry of Agriculture went through two tenders which included the construction of a new cell[/B], these tenders were unsuccessful, so today, he said, given that in a few months this site will be full, today we are looking at ways in which we can proceed with the construction of a new cell with the most concise but legal procedures.
"What we came up with was to proceed with open tender with concise, but, we will certainly have the guidance of all the relevant agencies and the General Accounting Office and the Legal Department, so that we can proceed with concise procedures, but with open tender. The position of the President of the Republic was clear: transparent procedures, legal procedures which, however, will ensure the implementation of this project in the coming months, so that there will be no problem with the operation of the unit.
In this direction, he concluded, we will move in the coming days and hopefully we will have the desired result.
