A request for an extraordinary meeting of the Committee on Institutions, Merit and the Commissioner for Administration (Ombudsman) has been submitted by the MP of the Cyprus Green Party Mr. George Perdikes, in order to examine the reasons why 50.000 tons of clean and very high priced water that was imported from Greece was dumped in the underground water supplies of Limassol. The water of course will not be wasted but the republic of Cyprus did not pay an exorbitant price just to reinforce our underground water supplies but to channel it directly to the fresh water supply system.
The House of Representative also needs to examine the provisions of the contract which, at a first glance, seen to be contradicting and controversial. The Cyprus Green Party still demands full transparency on this issue and is restive about information it is receiving concerning the eligibility of the tankers to actually transport water in the first place. Unfortunately there is a lack of information on this subject since the responsible authorities have not made public the identity of the tankers that have undertaken the transport of water from Greece.
The Cyprus Green Party considers that, under the circumstances, the application of this extraordinary measure was necessary, but is needs to be protected through transparency and capable administration.
