Evidence from ministries and public sector departments in relation to the involvement of public officials, civil servants, public teachers and military personnel in the management of private companies without obtaining the required permission, the Parliamentary Committee on Institutions, Values and Administration Commissioner is awaiting information after discussing the issue at a meeting on Wednesday to investigate possible corruption issues.
In a statement after the end of the meeting, the MP for the Ecologist-Citizens' Movement, Alexandra Attalidou, said that she raised the issue of whether there are public servants who are shareholders, or are directors or secretaries in companies that have had dealings with the Ministries or with the public sector agencies in which they serve.
He said that in this case, we are not just talking about illegality, as it is illegal not to declare one's status as a shareholder, director or secretary in a company, but we are also talking about corruption issues. Therefore, he said, the Commission has requested information from ministries and public sector agencies.
"The law should be made such - and the regulations - so that everyone without exception is covered, including police officers, firefighters and those serving in the military," he noted."
