Public Service Commission clears Labour MP Anthony Zammit

The malicious attacks by the media on Labour MP Anthony Zammit have disintegrated as the Public Service Commission found him not guilty of accusations that had been made against him by a nurse who alleged abusive behaviour towards her.

The PL said the disciplinary board investigated two charges against Mr Zammit and listened to evidence, including from the nurse who made the allegations.

It said that none of the other seven witnesses who appeared before the board, and who were all present in the operating theatre during the operation when this was supposed to have taken place, saw Mr Zammit kicking or pushing a bucket at this person, as she had alleged.

Mr Zammit told the board that he had complained that nurses should be taught operating theatre procedures before they were assigned to assist in operations.

The board concluded that this remark had been addressed to the training system nurses were being given and not at individuals.

Moreover, none of those who were present for the operation, except for the person who complained, described Mr Zammit’s behaviour as arrogant or abusive.

The board declared Mr Zammit not guilty, the PL said, confirming his credibility, honesty and professional integrity.
