A man who once belonged to a controversial clan of landowners in Baħrija, has been sentenced to three years in jail for the burglary of a restaurant and the assault of the arresting police officers, in 2003
A community hub for people with disabilities, announced with fanfare in 2017, remains just a big hole in the ground close to the Trade Fair grounds in Naxxar, Nationalist MP Claudette Buttigieg said on Tuesday.
Speaking in parliament, she said the government needs to explain why the project had been held up and whether it would go ahead.
Neighbours, she said, have for years, suffered the inconvenience caused by the works, including dust and the presence of rats, since excavation works were made in 2019.
This, she recalled, was meant to be a €32 million project co-funded by the European Union. It was launched by then parliamentary secretary Anthony Agius Decelis.
