The Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Mr. Yiannis Karousos and the staff of the Ministry bid farewell to the retiring Director General, Mr. Stavros Michael today.
A statement from the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works said that Mr. Michael was for decades a model public servant and an example to follow with his honesty, diligence and efficiency. Believing that public servants should and must act in the best interests of society, throughout his years in the Civil Service, Mr. Michael served the citizenry tirelessly and selflessly.
During his tenure at the Ministry of Transport as Director General, he added, with tenacity, perseverance, perspicacity and acumen, played an essential role in the proper implementation of all decisions and the political vision and, on many occasions, found solutions to very difficult situations always with the people and their interests in mind.
In a written statement and referring to his right hand, as he called him, Mr. Karousos notes that "the character of any man is discovered in difficult times and under pressure. With Stavros, I was fortunate and honoured to work with him on very important projects for the country, such as the Port of Larnaca, infrastructure development projects, the repatriation of citizens during the pandemic period, where he was next to me, away from his family, until late on Holy Saturday of 2020 to make sure that all our fellow citizens reached their families safely and many other things that would not have been possible without his guidance".
The Minister of Transport and the staff of the Ministry wished Michael a good rest with good times with his beloved family.
Earlier, during the meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on Transport, Communications and Works, in the presence of Mr. Karousos, the Chairman and members of the Committee thanked Mr. Michael for his excellent cooperation, citing his ability to manage and provide solutions to difficult situations.
The position of Deputy Director General of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works is assumed by Yannis Nicolaides.
