During Saturday’s morning Press conference Labour MEP Edward Scicluna said the government should come clean on its finances and not leave any surprises for the next government.

He said the PL would be holding the government responsible for its management of public finances. Malta, he said was the only country which still uses a cash flow system, through which government could hide any future payments.

‘We want the government to come clean before the election so that there would be no surprises for the next government’.

Prof Scicluna said the PL was also holding the European Commission responsible to scrutinise the government’.

Huwa qal li l-Partit Laburista se jżomm lill-gvern responsabbli għall-immaniġjar  tal-finanzi pubbliċi.

Malta, Scicluna qal, hija l-unika pajjiż li għadha tuża is-sistema ta ‘cash flow’ li biha l-gvern jkun jista jaħbi kull pagament għall-futur.

‘Aħna rridu lill-gvern li juri l-istampa vera tas-sitwazzjoni finanzjarja qabel l-elezzjoni biex b’hekk ma jkunx hemm sorpriżi għall-gvern ġdid’.

Il-Professur Scicluna qal li l-Partit Laburista qed iżomm ukoll lill-Kummissjoni Ewropea responsabbli biex tiskrutiniżża lill-gvern.
