Outspoken government MP Marlene Farrugia has taken to Facebook to express her anger at the way the Gzira shooting incident has unfolded.

She said that Malta should not bury the good that has been done, by "dirt - hmieg". 

She continued: "For goodness' sake, let us clean this country before we drown. Let us not allow the positives to be buried by dirt. We should not let our hope for a better Malta under a Labour Government turn into another disappointment. Let us put Malta first and foremost and allow good to prevail.
