According to reliable sources, a Management Efficiency Unit (MEU) report which has been finalised on the planning and operational set up of the Marsascala Family Park, which was temporarily closed last week, is expected to ruffle more than a few feathers.
A few weeks following the 9 March election, the MEU had been instructed by environment minister Leo Brincat to compile a technical report on the development of the €7 million Family Park in Marsascala, which is blighted by administrative and infrastructural problems.
Apart from reported various cost over runs, some of which seem to be without much justification, unjustified direct orders reportedly were judged to be excessive by the MEU.
Seemingly the report shows that a large number of direct orders were approved by the ministry for resources and rural affairs, a few weeks before the park was inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi on 24 February, barely two weeks before the election.
Jurgen Balzan was a MaltaToday reported from 2011 to 2017.

Interesting. Now two issues raise their head. First I have not heard a whimper from who was supposedly responsible of this mess. So far the previous incumbent has simply retorted that he wants to know what the present government is doing in terms of new projects. Yeah right go on build on the same sandy dune ones. I would prefer to see some justification for the wanton waste and unjustified spend of our tax money. Secondaly and this for the present incumbent. Fine so now who is to be brought to book? Or have they all decided that they are now out of politics and no longer answerable. Some cliche that. Wipe the slate clean 'beacuse i am not there anymore'. What if Joe citizen started using that with say..the VAT department??

My question is just one!
Will the responsible person be accounted for, and stand trail? Or because now that there was a change in command he just becomes a private citizen and we put a great big stone and cover every wrong doing.
