The report by the Commissioner for Standards in Public Life on the alleged misuse of public funds by minister Carmelo Abela was discussed by the Standing Parliamentary Committee for Standards.
According to law, the commissioner is appointed by mutual consent of both parties in parliament: a resolution appointing him requires the support of at least two-thirds of all members of the House of Representatives.
In the final session of the discussion, the committee voted on whether to adopt the commissioner’s report, which found that Abela was responsible for a breach of the code of ethics. The vote was a tie. Government members voted against and the opposition MPs in favour.
