Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
 
Back to the local news this week. Cyprus Today is reporting the fact that the Greek Cypriot who sued the Orams has lodged an appeal aginst the recent London High Court decision. Not really a big surprise because how else where they going to keep up the anti-TRNC publicity going.
A new government coalition has been formed as the old was in serious trouble. This new government is saying that it is going to clean up its act and make foreigners life easier. Now call me a cynic if you like, but I would love to see this act
ually happen by cutting red tape, speeding up paperwork etc and equality of charges for mainland permits and those for "third counry" nationals. The proof will eventually come out I suppose, but more professional employment techniques in local government and less jobs for the boys would be a good start.
Kib-Tek, the local electricity company, has admitted to being short of trained staff to help in sorting out the power problems in TRNC. They are suggesting that lack of government investment has made it impossible to recruit and train. They are warning of more frequent and prolonged power cuts this winter. Must get another jerry can to keep a supply of diesel.
A Mr Bora, who owns a local building company and is a previous mayor of Nicosia, said at a Homebuyer Pressure Group meeting this week that he was shocked at the problems facing some expat homeowners. What makes me think that this guy and probably many of the local politicians have buried their heads in the sand or do they just not listen to what goes on around them?
