Marsascala mayor Mario Calleja’s recent declaration that he had requested help in kind from the Sadeen Group, put the mayor and his council in bad light, Front Harsien ODZ said as it called on the Local Government Board to investigate the claims.

Mr Calleja told timeofmalta.com yesterday that the council had asked for help in kind from Sadeen Group during a recent meeting.

“We deem that Mr Calleja's behavior to be unethical and no local council or elected member on the council should be begging for help in kind. Rather local councils exist to protect and serve the community in which they are elected.

“Front is therefore requesting the local governance board to investigate the claims made by Mayor Calleja in relation to ethical behaviour in accordance with governance board regulations.”
