Whistleblower’s Act is ‘Bullshit’ – Alfred Sant
There is neither the seriousness nor the political will to effectively tackle corruption, former Labour leader Alfred Sant claims in an interview with sister newspaper Illum.
In the same interview, Former Prime Minister and Labour leader Alfred Sant unceremoniously dismisses the recent Whistleblower’s Act as ‘bullshit’.
“These structures are not enough, as with the law as it is, when someone knows (a complaint has been made) they can still cover their tracks.”
Sant suggests the Prime Minister should set ‘traps’ to expose corruption.
“If someone informs the Prime Minister about a corruption case, and the PM goes to the Commissioner, he would be giving a signal for the wrongdoing to be covered up,” he continues.
“The PM needs someone he can trust to conduct an administrative investigation; otherwise, no sooner is the green light given to an investigation, than the computers will be tampered with, and everything will get whitewashed.”
In the same interview Alfred Sant also reiterates his conviction – in the light of the unfolding European crisis – that it was not in Malta’s interest to enter the Eurozone.
Read the full interview in today’s edition of Illum, available from all leading newsagents.
