Report finds water board chief guilty

WATER Board chief Lakis Christodoulou is guilty of two disciplinary violations, according to a report filed by an investigator appointed by the Council of Ministers.

Agriculture Minister Costas Themistocleous said yesterday the report had found Christodoulou guilty of two violations – abuse of power and bringing the name of the civil service into disrepute.

Christodoulou is accused of using public employees and equipment in the building of his house earlier this year.

An official police investigation into the case is continuing.
