TNT Theft: Results Expected Next Week, Says Ministry of Defence – AKEL Demands Accountability and Transparency

The Ministry of Defense announced that the results of the investigation into the disappearance of 13 kilograms of TNT explosives during a National Guard exercise are expected to be released within the next week. The Ministry of Defense assures that it has full confidence in the police authorities conducting the investigation. However, strong criticism is coming from the opposition, specifically from AKEL, regarding the delay in information and the lack of transparency surrounding the incident. AKEL describes the case as serious and raises questions about potential omissions, lack of supervision, and the responsibilities of the leadership of the National Guard. AKEL questions the suitability of entrusting the investigation to an individual from the National Guard leadership itself, due to potential conflicts of interest. It also asks why the involved personnel have not been suspended. The party emphasizes the need to address the chronic problems of understaffing and inadequate training of personnel. AKEL warns of the risk that the explosives could fall into the hands of the criminal underworld, increasing the sense of insecurity in society. It demands an immediate, complete, and transparent investigation of the case, with accountability where necessary, to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
