Unanswered Parliamentary Questions to Ministers
January 16, 2025
Cypriot ministers frequently ignore parliamentary questions, with official data indicating that 28% of inquiries go unanswered. Out of 1,257 questions posed, only 320 were answered within the 30-day deadline. The rules do not impose strict penalties on ministers who fail to respond, posing challenges for collaboration between the executive and legislative branches. Deputy Minister Irini Piki stated she would look into the matter and take steps to improve cooperation.
