Court rules State Advocate can act independently to recover hospital funds

The Court of Appeal has ruled that the State Advocate does have the power to act independently of any government direction to recover funds swindled in the fraudulent hospitals...

latest comment from Alessia Caruana, 02/12/2024 14:21: This €400M scandal has exposed the dark side of Malta’s governance. The courts have confirmed the State Advocate can act without government interference. It’s time to see if the system works for the people or the powerful.

11 resignations in 11 years: Labour’s scandal-induced shadow continues to bite

PN says PM ‘duty bound’ to inform magistrate about what he said at PN HQ; PL replies

Robert Abela was duty bound to inform the Inquiring Magistrate about what he stated during a meeting held, together with other Labour Party officials, at the Partit Nazzjonalista Headquarters, the...

latest comment from KLAUS, 01/12/2024 15:52: How low has this man ROBBER Abela sunk? Every time he tries to divert attention from his own shortcomings, from his own sleazy politics. What I realise more and more is that he is completely out of his depth in this job. He can no longer satisfy these different, mostly corrupt currents. My guess is that he is in way too deep himself and would rather see Abella go and make way for something new, something good that Malta deserves.

Clayton Bartolo’s position as an MP is untenable – Beppe Fenech Adami

Clayton Bartolo's position as a Member of Parliament is also untenable, long-time Nationalist Party MP Beppe Fenech Adami told The Malta Independent on Sunday. Fenech Adami was contacted for his...

latest comment from KLAUS, 01/12/2024 13:09: The PL was once a grand and great workers' party, defending the interests of the workers. But what has become of them? It's about cheating almost every day we learn it from the News, it's about stealing from the Maltese people behind their back, it's about hiding expenses so that everyone can‘t see the obvious, it's about lying and deceiving even their own voters. It's about putting lackeys in charge who simply don't understand anything and make the worst decisions that can harm Malta in the long run. But how did we get here? The fish is starting to stink at the head and an apology is by far not enough. It gets worse every day, every week, every month and every year. The most common excuse is that the others are no better. Obviously, this is their own claim against the politicians, especially ROBBER Abela. There is no pride or honour left. Malta desperately needs a NEW Labour Party, it can't go on like this.

latest comment from C Xerri, 01/12/2024 13:05: "PN slams ‘disgusting, dangerous, and irresponsible’ PM for ‘exploiting’ Karl Gouder’s death" Who is really exploiting Karl Gouder's death? The Prime Minister who did not mention any names or the ones who tied Gouder's death with the Prime Minister's speech?

Malta’s HIV diagnosis rates ‘one of the highest’ in Europe due to lack of free preventive medication

As HIV diagnoses rates keep on climbing locally, reaching one of the highest in the EU, the free government provision of prophylactic (preventative) HIV medication could be a local game-changer, Marc...

latest comment from Kizzy, 01/12/2024 08:53: "free preventive medication" is not the only solution. There should be education on the basics of safer sex. HIv is not the only STI and preventive medication will not protect you from gonorrhea or syphilis, but condoms will help protect you from all three.
