The Times of Malta's main story reports that Cabinet is discussing a sex offender's law which will close the gaps which currently allow them to work with children even after conviction. Its secondary story follows on from yesterday's and confirms that authorisation had been given last April for the magistrate to appoint any experts needed in the Egrant inquiry.

Malta Today reveals that two former ministers, Edward Zammit Lewis and Emmanual Mallia, have been given what it describes as "cushy jobs", and also that PN leadership contender Frank Portelli would only publish a declaration of his assets if the law mandated it.

The Malta Independent says that the PN is making a fresh attempt to persuade the European Commission to take action over the Panama Papers, and claims that an online poll was hacked to favour another PN leadership contender, Chris Said.

In-Nazzjon dedicates its whole front page to what it describes as the "desperate" situation in the prison, while l-Orizzont follows up on the implications of the recent theft from the Cospicua church, and another prison story - saying that there had not been any overdose cases in the prison in the past seven weeks.
