The Department of Road Transport wishes to clarify that in relation to the reports about the return of the three employees of the Paphos District Office, who are under suspension, Article 85 of the Public Service Law of 1990-2015 applies, which expressly states that "the period of suspension to which a civil servant is subjected during an investigation may not exceed three months, but may be extended, for good cause, for a further three months".
Consequently, once the three officials have exhausted the six-month period, as described above, and given that the police investigation is ongoing, both the Office and the officials are obliged to comply with the provisions of the above-mentioned legislation.
