Following our announcement yesterday, the Offsite Cyprus website, instead of correcting yesterday's unsubstantiated allegations in relation to the inspections carried out by our Service in the National Guard, it comes back today with new lies, that allegedly we have never in the past counted ammunition, never in the past entered National Guard depots, and other similar unsubstantiated claims.
Because the website's claims focus on the period when the Auditor General was Mrs. Chr. Yiorkadji, in an obvious attempt to hurt the current Auditor General, we refer indicatively to the references made in the Annual Reports of our Service for the years 2011 (e.g. p. 70, 81, 84) and 2012 (e.g. pp. 50, 55), on arms and ammunition issues that emerged from our on-site inspections in National Guard units. Similar references can be found in many of our later and more recent reports.
For the information of the public, we state that our published reports include only matters of a non-confidential nature, while our results and reports on a number of our extensive and in-depth audits (which include on-site inspections of camps) on sensitive and very important national security issues, such as weapons systems and defense spending on weapons programs, are designated by our Office as "Top Secret" and are not made public.
This also answers the website's claims that the clear, and without asterisks and footnotes, provisions of the Constitution for our power of control over any property of the Republic do not apply when an auditee would claim that national security concerns are raised.
