Independent candidate Arnold Cassola has sought an explanation from the Commissioner for Children on the presence of two ministers in a school.

In his letter to the commissioner, Cassola said that Covid protocols have prevented parents from entering a school for two years.

But two ministers – Aaron Farrugia and Clifton Grima – went to a school to explain to students about the function of seeds.

“Parents cannot enter a school, but ministers can,” Cassola charged.

Why were the ministers granted dispensation?, he asked.
