Ombudsman Joseph Said Pullicino has been quoted in The Times as saying that the Malta Environment and Planning Authority’s former audit officer, Joe Falzon, had indicated he was not interested in the post of Environment Commissioner
However, the same Mr Falzon declared, in a recent interview with MaltaToday, that he never made any such declaration.
Who is right? This matter should be clarified as soon as possible.
The office of the Ombudsman, whose main asset has to be the people’s absolute trust, cannot have a shadow like this hanging over it.
