The discussion, requested by the Nationalist Opposition members serving on the Committee, was blocked by Government members on the pretext that it should be postponed until the report is updated. Through its members on the PAC, the Government has chosen to shield Minister Miriam Dalli and the Government from every form of transparency and accountability. In return, they are getting a Government that is not even capable of discussing the electricity cuts, let alone solving them,” the party said. The statement was signed by PN MP and PAC chairperson Darren Carabott, and PN MPs and PAC members Graham Bencini and Eve Borg Bonello. Meanwhile, the PL said in a statement that it wants a discussion based on facts while the PN wants to “stop halfway through.”
