The Parliamentary Committee on Refugees, Internally Displaced Persons and Victims met today, Tuesday, 5 April 2022, and discussed the following issues:
1. The problems faced by the residents of the apartment building of Piale Passia 14 and the delay in the repairs.
(Self-examination following the recommendation of Mr. Nikos Kettirou, Christos Christofidis, Christos Christofias, Nikos Georgiou, George Karoulla, Rita Theodorou Superman, Christos Seneca, Zacharias Koulias and Michael Yakoomi)
(No. Fak. 23.04.038.1135.-2021)
The representative of the Planning and Zoning Department informed the members of the committee that the apartment building in question was expropriated by the state in 2017 and its management now belongs to the department she represents. As for the repairs on it, said the same representative, a tender was issued by the State, a process that is expected to be completed next June and the award in July. Consequently, she said, repairs to the apartments in the block of flats would begin as soon as possible.
The Committee decided to return to the matter for consideration.

(Bill proposed by Mr Panikos Leonidou, MP for the Limassol constituency).

The members of the Committee deliberated on the proposed law and decided to come back for its consideration in the presence of representatives of the parties concerned.
