Foreign Affairs Minister Ian Borg had said that he is proud to have been accessible to everyone, in reaction to the latest scandal revelations.

The Sunday Times of Malta reported that a Transport Malta racket to help candidates obtain a driving licence leads straight to minister Ian Borg and his trusted workers.  WhatsApp chats obtained by Times of Malta show Borg, a minister's canvasser, and his ministry personnel regularly piled pressure on Transport Malta's director of licensing Clint Mansueto to "help" candidates at different stages of the licensing process. A customer care official from the Prime Minister's office, as well as the Prime Minister's personal assistant and the Gozo Minister's chief of staff also passed on the names of candidates, The Times reports.

Borg, posting on Facebook, said: "At a time when many accuse politicians of being cut off from the people, I am proud to always have been, and am still, accessible to everyone. Go through my messages with Transport Malta, and what do they show? I listen to people's complaints and work on them."

He said that everyone speaks to him - youths with various problems, to priests, commercial companies from Zebbug to Nadur, as well as PN MP Beppe Fenech Adami. As a minister I always delivered the message as I received it to the authority."

"I always advised that the authority assist within the parameters of the law. This advice shows clearly in one message after another."

He said that the people didn't ask for anything that goes against the law.

"I also believe that the authority acted justly, and I don't want to think any other way. I am sure that the examiners passed those who deserved it, as they testified in court. Many customer care workers were mentioned. I thank them that, when I was the minister responsible for transport, they gave the best service to whoever spoke to them." He said he stands with them.
