Of the Patriarch
The day before yesterday I was reading the decision of the Supreme Court, regarding the case of a foreigner from Iran, who has been living illegally in Cyprus for 22 years and it is not known the extended orders issued will be executed forever.
What really impressed me (although everything was impressive) was that the relevant authorities decided to tell him that he must leave Cyprus or face deportation and it took three whole years send the letter!
It is also surprising that no one has checked for this delay.
It is normal to load everything, in general and vaguely, on the “system” that is sick, that is characterized by pathogens, that will improve, where, where, where.
However, the “system” is run by people, and those people are public servants, paid by taxpayers to do their jobs.
Does anyone understand what would happen in a private company if an employee had to send a letter and slow down for 3 whole years?
The first is that the study would not allow them this three year delay. But if he got out of control and found this delay he would pack up and go home, without much explanation.
And this did not happen for the first time and it only applies to the special public service.
I think most of them have tried to contact a government agency on the phone. Chances are, no one will ever answer the phone, or if they do, they’ll send you to someone else and that’s it. The constant excuse is lack of workers and workload, as if there are enough workers in the private sector who are useless and idle all day, because they have no work to do.
Unfortunately, this is a mindset, and no matter how strange the definition, it is called the mindset of a civil servant. This translates to “you are not tired, my dear, tomorrow is the day”, “I will be paid at the end of the month whether I send the letter or not ” and “laughter”. (The fools in our case are the taxman).
After such a court decision, even if years have passed, it would be expected that a minister, a manager, an inspector would want an explanation… But aren’t you tired, best man?
