These are the top stories in today’s Maltese newspapers:

Times of Malta quotes social workers saying that children cannot spend years in care waiting for someone to decide their future, and the new protection law should ensure none are lost in care. It also reports that Minister Konrad Mizzi insisted that the €6.4 million that appears as ‘personal revenue’ in a source of funds declaration (in the Panama Papers) relates to client accounts and business development and was received by a company in which he was a partner. 

The Malta Independent quotes Minister Konrad Mizzi saying there is no relationship between him and Cheng Chen, who is connected with Shanghai Electric Power. It also reports that teenage mothers were objecting to using contraception because of their partners' objections. 

In-Nazzjon says the Nationalist party was calling for an investigation after it was learnt that the same individual who opened a secret company for a Shanghai Electric negotiator had opened secret companies for Konrad Mizzi and Keith Schembri.

l-Oriżżont picks on an interview given by Arriva's ex CEO David Martin who said the former government had created a monster which did not work. It also quotes ETC chairman Clyde Caruana targetting an unemployment figure of just 3,000 by the end of this legislature.
