Concerns About Hiring Procedures in Paphos Municipality
February 17, 2026
Unusual hiring processes have been reported in the Paphos Municipality for five positions from 2021 to 2023. There were cases of hiring without following proper procedures, including the recruitment of a relative of a city councilor and a candidate who didn't even apply. The former mayor, Phaidonas Phaidonos, claimed all procedures were legal despite the allegations. The evidence regarding these processes is part of an ongoing investigation by the police, focusing on the lack of necessary approvals for the hires. This situation raises concerns about the legality of the recruitments and the accountability of those involved.
