Allowing Beppe Fenech Adami to continue chairing the Public Accounts Committee, which is currently investigating Wasteserv, proves that PN leader Adrian Delia's 'New Way' is even worse than before, the PL have said.
Last Sunday, MaltaToday published emails revealing how former Ministers, MPs, civil servants, party candidates, and representatives of Wasteserv, between 2009 and 2013 under a PN government, would offer employment to specific voters; often using their personal emails rather than their government servers. Beppe Fenech Adami, along with Claudio Grech, Jason Azzopardi, and Chris Said appeared in the emails.
Key figures within the emails are Ray Bezzina, a former political aide to former resources minister George Pullicino, as well as the same ministry's permanent secretary Chris Ciantar.
Speaking at a press conference held at the Labour Party Headquarters, MP Robert Abela said that in previous legislatures MPs who chaired the PAC had stepped down whenever there was interference.
"However, Adrian Delia's PN does not have the decency to try improve political standards within the party, which were already low," Abela said.
"Even worse, this morning Adrian Delia defended Beppe Fenech Adami and the other MPs by saying that they were merely recommendations. However, the emails show that there was political pressure and interference, that not even Wasteserv would accept," he said.
Labour Mp Alex Muscat said that this is another instance were the PN shows they do not have the credibility to lead the nation.
"Why is that every time the PN makes accusations, it is caught having the done the same thing, worse than that they are never reprimanded when they are found out."
