Government Accountability and the President's Pension: A Critique

The article criticizes the government for a lack of accountability in two recent issues: the fire in mountainous Lemesos and the President's pension.

Regarding the fire, the article states that while inviting American experts is positive, the government should have first taken political responsibility for the existing gaps. It points out that assurances of readiness proved inadequate and there was a lack of coordination between services.

Regarding the President's pension, the article states that the decision to distribute it to institutions does not constitute a waiver, and that other officials in the past had fully waived their pensions. Names such as *Κίκης Καζαμίας, Νίκος Αναστασιάδης, Ζέτα Αιμιλιανίδου, Ιωάννης Κασουλίδης* etc. are mentioned.

The article concludes with the need for sound judgment, courage and honesty from politicians.
