One of Nicosia’s Citizens’ Service Centre to close

The finance ministry announced on Monday that the Citizens’ Service Centre (KEP) located near the Nicosia general hospital will no longer operate as such.

As of this Friday, only the KEPs in Engomi located at the former state fair premises and on Makarios Avenue in the city centre will be operating in Nicosia, the ministry said.

The KEP near the Nicosia general hospital on the old Nicosia to Limassol road will be operating as a branch of the Nicosia district road transport department.

Efforts are underway to find another location in the area to house a KEP office.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
