latest comment from mario mifsud, 26/04/2024 14:20: This case should be investigated by appointing a public inquiry led by a judge to stop these abuses in the field of construction and property, including safeguards to stop the fraudulent purchase of property for demolition, including the participation of persons from the notarial profession. Any such cases already reported to the authorities should be included in the terms of reference of this inquiry so that a holistic picture of what is happening can be established. This inquiry should take into consideration the conclusions of the Sofia Inquiry, but extend its remit also to the fraudulent purchase of a property in order to demolish it and the Floriana case.

latest comment from John, 27/04/2024 06:15: Dubious decision. Surely if KM is operating on commercial lines government can only issue a subsidy which a passenger can use with any airline operating to and from Malta ?

Developers, architects, politicians together ruining residents' quality of life, FAA says

Months roll into years with one "accident" after another, yet the only change being seen is the change in appointees at the Building and Construction Authority, the very authority...

latest comment from C Xerri, 26/04/2024 20:14: ..and why did the FAA failed totally to mention the Courts? Are the Courts giving examplary sentences when those directly responsible for such incidents and tragedies are brought to justice? And does the police have to wait for the magisterial inquiry report before bringing those directly responsible for the latest tragedy to justice?
