The constitutional court case filed by Opposition Leader Adrian Delia, in which he is insisting that he too should be given a full copy of the Egrant inquiry, took another turn for the bizarre yesterday when the court heard that the Prime Minister's spokesperson has also been given a copy of the report.

So we now have a situation in which even the government's spokesman has a copy of the 1,400-page report, but the Leader of the Opposition does not.

It is already ridiculous that Adrian Delia had to resort to filing a court case over the AG's insistence on not providing him with a copy, despite the important constitutional role that he holds and the political gravitas of the inquiry. It is also ridiculous that the court had to force a number of parties, including the Attorney General and the PM, to take the witness stand in the case.

But to learn now that the government's communications man - the person who is responsible for trickling down snippets and scoops to the media - is one of a few people who wield the power of being in possession of the Egrant report is beyond words.

The fact that the list of people who have a copy of the report keeps growing is also of concern.

Initially we were told that the PM had been given a copy of the inquiry as the person who had personally requested it. Some argued that it was actually the AG who filed the request, but that's another thing. But we have found out over the weeks that the Justice Minister also has a copy as does the PM's personal lawyer Pawlu Lia. Now we find out that Kurt Farrugia has one as well.

Farrugia was, after all, the person who uploaded a photo of the voluminous inquiry on the PM's desk at Castille, right after a large group of people took a celebratory photo just after the famous press conference.

All this makes one wonder how many other people have a copy of the report, or have had access to it.

Why doesn't the OPM just come clean and give us a fill list of those who have a full copy? Or better yet, why doesn't the government just publish the report? While it is understood that some names might need to be redacted, we have to point out that the report has been out for almost four months now.

There is also another mind boggling development from yesterday. The PM claimed that, four months after he was handed the Egrant inquiry, he has not read it in full yet.

Now considering the importance of this inquiry, and how emotional the PM gets every time the subject is raised in Parliament or in other political spheres, it is difficult to digest the claim that the PM has simply not read it in  its entirety.

To further support this argument, the PM himself yesterday told the court that: "The report was important because my entire career depended on the outcome of the case... I had said that if there were any indication of a connection of Egrant to me or my family, I would resign."

The Labour Party yesterday had the gall to state that the only political imbalance is one against the Prime Minister.  It said that the "lie not only led to repercussions for the Prime Minister and his family, but for the country."

We could not agree more - the country has been greatly affected by the Egrant saga and every citizen has a right to know exactly what's going on, and who is behind what. That is why the entire report must be published as soon as possible.
