Memorandum uncovers civil service transfers under 1987 PN government
1996 Injustices tribunal uncovers 500 cases of unwarranted work transfers within civil service under Nationalist government
One week after PN leader Simon Busuttil slammed the "vindictive transfers" within the civil service sector, Sunday newspaper Illum published a copy of a memorandum uncovering numerous promotions within the public departments by the 1987 Nationalist government.
The report states how the then Nationalist administration, in light of numerous transfers given by parliamentary members and head of departments, had warned officials to adhere to the rules and procedures regulating work transfers of civil service members.
Published by the Office of the Prime Minister, the memorandum also ordered all the heads of civil departments to consult with Alfred Chetcuti, a member within the prime minister's private secretariat, prior to handing transfers.
Illum also uncovered that the Tribunal of Injustices, which was established in 1996 by a Labour government, had uncovered 500 cases of unjustified promotions between 1987 and 1995.
