Alfred Baldacchino says that pruning of trees – which used to be carried out under the auspices of the Agriculture Department, but has now been farmed out to the private sector – is now being done at the wrong time of the year, and in a slapdash way that reduces many of the trees concerned to mere stumps.
Baldacchino also criticised the way how the National Sustainable Development Commission (NSDC) was allowed to fizzle out.
