The President of the Republic Mr. Nikos Anastasiadis chaired tonight, at the Presidential Palace, a meeting on the waste management unit in Kosi.
After the meeting, the Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Costas Kadis, in his statements to the journalists, said that “an extended meeting was held under the President of the Republic, which discussed the issue that arises with the life time of the landfill in the waste management unit in Kosi.
It should be noted that after the closure of the landfill in Kotsiatis, which was a contractual obligation of the Republic of Cyprus, the municipal waste of the province of Nicosia is diverted to Kosi. This worked in the direction of filling the cell in a shorter period of time.
Despite the fact that the Ministry of Agriculture held two competitions which included the creation of a new cell, these competitions were fruitless, so today, given that in a few months this space will be full, today we examined ways in which we can to build a new cell with the most concise but legal procedures.
What we came up with was to proceed with an open tender with concise procedures, but we will definitely have the guidance of all the competent bodies and of the General Accounting Office and the Legal Service, so that we can proceed with concise procedures, but with an open competition.
The position of the President of the Republic was clear: transparent procedures, legal procedures which, however, will also ensure the implementation of this project in the coming months, so that no problem arises with the operation of the unit.
In this direction i let 's move in the next few days and hope that we will have the desired result “.
