PN Secretary General Chris Said has denied claims made yesterday by Prime Minister Joseph Muscat that former PN Cabinet members had not refunded the increase in their wages they were meant to have done. 

"A few days after being elected, when interviewed on Dissett, Dr Muscat himself had declared that all money due had been refunded," Dr Said remarked adding that Dr Muscat had been caught "lying" yet again.

Dr Said also clarified that the eight parliamentary assistants had received in total €86,000 and not €2 million as the prime minister had claimed.

He was addressing a news conference on the forthcoming PN general council, which is set for this weekend on the theme 'Honest Politics'.

He said the PN would be calling for measures to strengthen independent institutions such as the police force, the Ombudsman and the Commission for the Administration of Justice.
