A disagreement has emerged between the parliamentary Control Committee and the Auditor General, Andreas Papakonstantinou, regarding the extent to which the Audit Office can be scrutinised by the legislative authority. This conflict arose during the first session of the new parliamentary period.
The dispute began when Odysseas Michaelides, now a Member of Parliament and formerly the Auditor General, requested internal documents from the Audit Office. Mr. Papakonstantinou reportedly refused this request, arguing that the Audit Office's independence would be violated if it were subject to parliamentary control in this manner.
According to Omega TV, Mr. Papakonstantinou stated that if Parliament could control the Audit Office, Mr. Michaelides would not be able to serve as an MP, given that he was deemed unsuitable for his previous role. Some MPs, however, indicated that the Auditor General is obliged to provide documents to the committee.
