Before speaking about ethics, Nationalist Party leader Simon Busuttil should take a look around him and see who makes up his shadow cabinet, the Labour Party said in a statement.

“A number of such members formed part of the arrogant government that led the country in recent history,” the PN said.

It mentioned a former minister who took a free flight with businessmen to watch a football game and was given a clock as a gift from people who were involved in the oil procurement scandal that erupted before the election, in clear reference to Tonio Fenech.

The auditor general had found that a WasteServ contract had cost €29 million instead of just €1 million under a resources minister who is now a prominent member of the PN shadow cabinet, a reference to George Pullicino.

The PL also mentioned another report on the BWSC power station and a decision taken by the Cabiner to grant ministers and parliamentary secretaries a pay rise.
