MaltaToday reports that the Labour Party has challenged Opposition leader Simon Busuttil to take action against former Birkirkara mayor Michael Fenech Adami, after the Local Governance Board found that he had bypassed public procurement procedures by issuing contracts without a call for tenders.
The newspaper says that Labour’s Deputy Leader Chris Cardona claimed that Busuttil is unable to take action, as the Fenech Adami family is more powerful within the PN than he is.
The report says that Fenech Adami while Mayor of B’Kara had issued contracts for work without issuing calls for tenders and in cases without even informing the council.
