Instead of coming clean and answering some very pertinent questions about their actions and their people, Bernard Grech's Nationalist Party is desperately trying to shift focus, the Labour Party said Friday.
Their latest desperate attempt has been this morning by issuing a press statement about investigations they intend to start within the Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
Whilst the Labour Party has absolutely no issue with government ministers replying to questions, because government's track record is positive and successful, not so the PN.
These are, for now, 9 questions that the PN has so far refused to answer:
1. What lies beneath the story of a €60,000 tax evasion that Bernard Grech is implicated in?
2. Can Roberta Metsola explain how many times she or her office asked for Kurt Rizzo, the police officer who allegedly leaked sensitive information to criminals, and abused of drugs, to be her security detail?
3. Can Roberta Metsola explain her deafening silence three days since this scandal broke?
4. Why is the PN insisting that its representative on the Permanent Commission Against Corruption keeps his seat despite the turn of events, which are of grave concern, despite calling for everyone's resignation every other day
5. Can PN MPs Carm Mifsud Bonnici, Chris Said, and Mario De Marco explain why they never returned the extra payments made to them as part of the infamous honoraria increase under the GonziPN administration?
6. Can Bernard Grech explain why he is still defending his MP Toni Bezzina, who receives his salary but does not turn up for work?
7. What is keeping Grech from taking action against Bezzina? What is Grech afraid of?
8. Can Bernard Grech explain what exactly is worrying him about one of his MPs about whom the extremist faction within his party is insisting that Grech should fire him?
9. Can Karol Aquilina and Jason Azzopardi explain their new found friendship, what exactly brought them back 'together'?
The PL said these are the first nine questions, as others will follow.
