Prime Minister Joseph Muscat's organisation of and behaviour at a party in his official residence at Girgenti Palace did not breach the ministerial code of ethics or any other statutory duty, the Commissioner for Standards for Public Life George Hyzler has concluded.
Hyzler was asked to investigate the party after a video of the Prime Minister and his wife Michelle Muscat chanting 'ma taghmlu xejn ma' Joseph taghna' during party at Girgenti Palace went viral.
The commissioner concluded that Muscat's behaviour, even in singing along with what was a chant of a partisan nature, does not constitute a breach in the ministerial code of ethics or any other statutory duty.
The commissioner also concluded that the organisation of a private event in the official residence which, he found, was not financed in any way by public funds was also not in breach of the ministerial code of ethics or any other statutory duty.
The complaint was filed by independent candidate Arnold Cassola.
