Delays in Hiring Forest Firefighters by the Ministry of Finance
August 5, 2025
MP Christos Christofides has raised concerns about delays from the Ministry of Finance in hiring forest firefighters, despite multiple requests from the Forestry Department. The need for staff was highlighted as early as January, yet positions were only advertised shortly after the devastating fire in Limassol. This led to serious consequences, including loss of life. The correspondence reveals a dangerous procrastination that needs to be seriously addressed.
