Enemalta Corporation has expressed concern at a statement released by the General Workers' Union earlier this afternoon.

In its statement, which followed a statement by the corporation chairman following a power outage across Malta, the GWU accused the chairman of trying to implicate the workers in sabotage which caused this morning's power cut.

Enemalta said that its chairman did not refer to anyone, let alone the employees of Enemalta.

"Actually it is the GWU itself which is involving Enemalta employees, and not the chairman."

Enemalta reiterated that a police and a magisterial inquiry were currently underway to determine the cause of the incident.

Any further comments at this stage were uncalled for, it said.
