ADPD - The Green Party Chairperson Sandra Gauci has written to the Auditor General to investigate Enemalta's expenditure of public funds. Gauci announced she will be taking this step at last week's protest organised by ADPD in Valletta that called on the government to act with urgency during the current crisis with respect to the distribution of electricity in Malta. 

Specifically, the request to the Auditor General asks for a value-for-money audit of investments made by Enemalta in the electricity distribution system in the past ten years, an APDP statement said Tuesday.

This investigation is being asked for because tax payers have the right to know how their money is being spent. There is a necessity for transparency, also into the level of long-term planning of Enemalta, so that those responsible for the current string of power cuts and failures can be held accountable. 

Unfortunately, while power cuts were promised to be a thing of the past, this is not the case, and it is necessary to advocate for better electricity distribution systems. Funds towards such basic necessities should be spent judiciously, and we all deserve to know what decisions on procurement and tendering regarding electricity distribution systems have led to our current predicament.

ADPD - The Green Party encourages the public and all those impacted by the power cuts to sign the petition with ADPD’s 10 concrete actions for a greener and reliable energy system: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/10-action-points-for-improved-energy-policy-in-malta
