The mayor of Tarxien resigned his post saying he could no longer administer the council without any money.

In a post on Facebook, Joseph Abela, PL,  said he resigned yesterday.

The decision, he said, was tough and he took it not because he did not love Tarxien or because he did not try or was not capable, but because he could not continue to administer the council without any finances, as he had done for two whole years.

The department, he said, did not permit the council to make any expenses and there was a lot of internal hindrance, he said.
