Nationalist Party (PN) leader Adrian Delia has backed up PN MP Beppe Fenech Adami's justification on leaked e-mails showing how government officials under the leadership of Lawrence Gonzi had recommended people for jobs within Wasteserv.
Malta Today last week published leaked e-mails showing Fenech Adami, PN MP Claudio Grech and Marthese Portelli had recommended constituents for particular jobs.
Recently, PN MP's had requested an investigation into "hundreds of jobs" created at Wasteserv in the weeks running up to the general elections.
Echoing Fenech Adami's statements, PN leader Adrian Delia stressed that there is a stark different between what PN government officials did under the leadership of former Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi and what this government did in the weeks leading up to the general election.
Delia also said the government's actions amount to "corrupt practices".
In comments to the press, Delia said he spoke with Fenech Adami and understand that the latter made recommendations for a particular person to be granted an interview for an existing job at Wasteserv.
"It results that the person was not even chosen for the post in the end," he said.
Pressed on whether this is acceptable behaviour, Delia replied:
"If there was an regulation which was breached, let us see which regulation it is. What is certainly not acceptable is [the revelation that] there were hundreds of people brought into Wasteserv, in an abusive way...
"Let's be clear: there was a general election. The government wants to win that election. Government uses your money, my money and everybody's money to employ people for positions which we do not need in the first place. So let's be clear, they did not bring in people for jobs that need filling but people were brought in to buy votes. That is not acceptable."
