A letter by the managing director of James Caterers, which threatened the National Audit Office (NAO) with legal action, was in breach of parliamentary privilege, Speaker Anglu Farrugia has ruled.
Last week, it emerged that the company’s managing director James Barbara had written to the NAO threatening to take legal action against it and its officers, should an ongoing investigation portray the company in a bad light.
In a ruling delivered in Parliament this evening, upon the request of Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Farrugia ruled that the company had in fact breached parliamentary privilege.
The NAO is in the process of auditing tenders awarded to the company in relation to St Vincent de Paul home for the elderly. While the original 2015 tender was for the provision of meals and a kitchen, it eventually developed into a project to extend the home. The multi-million euro deal was won by a consortium, which includes James Caterers Ltd.

MP SPEAKS | The year of failing dangerously

MP SPEAKS | As we sadly marked the first anniversary of the first unelected government in history, we remember then calling Perikatan Nasional’s(PN) perfidious overthrow of a constitutionally elected Pakatan Harapan government, as a severe setback for democracy and reforms.
Such prophetic words have been proven true with the decision of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to suspend Parliament following a declaration of a state of emergency, ostensibly to battle the Covid-19 pandemic.
Malaysia is probably the only country in the world that believes that the act of suspending Parliament can overcome Covid-19.
