Investigation into Compensatory Fee Practices in Paphos Municipality
February 20, 2026
An investigation into the Paphos Municipality reveals unusual practices regarding compensatory fees. Sums intended for planning approvals were not reaching the Municipality's funds but were instead given to other contractors. This process, followed during the mayorship of Phaedon Phaedonos, raises questions about transparency and good governance. Documents show that contractors would select others to execute works instead of the Municipality managing the process. This situation opens the possibility of a lack of transparency in the payment of compensatory fees.
