A letter addressing all MPs written by the mother of a young man who died when a building collapsed in Kordin last December, was read out in parliament on Tuesday, asking MPs to vote in favour of a public inquiry into the death of her son.

The letter was read during the parliamentary adjournment speech by PN MP Jerome Caruana Cilia. He said that this letter was sent to all PN MPs.

Jean Paul Sofia died when a building under construction collapsed, with the man's body being found by Civil Protection Department personnel many hours after the collapse.

The PN filed a parliamentary motion insisting that a public inquiry into the death of 20-year-old Jean Paul Sofia be launched so that all the facts can become known.

The letter was asking all MPs to vote for what is right and vote in favour of a public inquiry which is a "more intense investigation" that will give recommendations and point out the shortcomings of the system.

Sofia's mother Isabelle Bonnici was asking for full justice for her son, which also means an inquiry into whether State authorities or representatives failed in their obligation to safeguard his life and failed to take preventative measures to protect him and others from the risk of loss of life and physical injury.

She said that she wants to prevent this from ever happening again as no parent should ever experience the same pain of losing their child like that.

"Who is going to listen to me if not the people in this room?" she said in the letter addressing all MPs read out by Caruana Cilia.

"I am certain that a lot of you will listen to me. I am asking you to vote according to your conscience when a public inquiry is discussed."

She emphasised that this was not a political matter as when one spends hours waiting for their child to be retrieved, "the only colour you see is black."

She concluded by informing the MPs that "It is up to you now," Caruana Cilia said.
