Competitiveness and Communications Minister Censu Galea has again asked the Permanent Commission against Corruption to investigate a speech made by Labour MP Joe Mizzi in Parliament last Monday.

In his speech, Mr Mizzi made allegations about the minister and about employees of the Malta Maritime Authority. It is the fourth time in recent days that the minister has asked for an investigation by the commission.

Mr Galea asked the commission to conduct its investigation in the shortest time possible, the Department of Information said.
