There is a need for Members of Parliament to act ethically at all times, ADPD said Saturday. There is no culture of resignations in our country, and there is a need for more accountability especially from those who are responsible for running our country.

ADPD-The Green Party Chairperson Sandra Gauci said this in relation to Minister of Finance Clyde Caruana admitting that he had given the wrong information to Parliament about the remuneration of Air Malta Chairman David Curmi.

After earlier denying a Shift News report that Curmi was receiving any additional payment over and above his package of €21,500 per month, he has now admitted that he is also being paid an additional €10,000 honorarium as a member of the board.

These scandalous payments are being made at a time when the Government is asking the European Commission the go ahead to give Air Malta up to €300 million in subsidies, while the workforce are still waiting for the negotiation of a new collective agreement for them.

"We demand accountability from a government whose ministers seek to cover the pigging out of some with blatant lies", concluded Gauci.
