AKEL on Explosives: Possibility They Ended Up with the Underworld - Poses Three Questions

Published February 10, 2026, 15:46

AKEL expressed strong concerns regarding the theft of 13 kilograms of TNT explosives from the Kalou Chori firing range and the lack of information about the case. The party questions the investigation, as the Minister described the case as “strange” and left open the possibility of involvement from within the National Guard. AKEL poses three key questions: first, how is it possible that a person from the leadership of the National Guard was appointed if there is suspicion of internal involvement? Second, why have EF personnel not been suspended due to disciplinary offenses arising from the lack of supervision? And third, what actions have been taken to address the understaffing and lack of training of National Guard personnel? AKEL fears that the explosives may have fallen into the hands of the underworld, which would increase the sense of insecurity in society. The party demands an immediate and thorough investigation of the case. The AKEL announcement emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability in the case, as well as the need to strengthen the security and supervision of explosive materials.
