The Office of the Prime Minister refers to the article ‘An oil-fired controversy’ by Andrew Borg Cardona (December 21).
It is indeed unfortunate that Borg Cardona chose to resort to deceit and inaccuracies when dealing with the institutionalised bribery in oil procurement under previous administrations.
When dealing with this most shocking scandal in Malta’s political history, Borg Cardona mentions a certain Anthony Debono who allegedly shared wealth with oil trader George Farrugia and refers to him as being now a consultant of the Prime Minister.
This is nothing but a blatant lie.
The truth is that Debono has neither worked, nor is working in any way, for the present Prime Minister.
