The Nationalist Party is playing a dangerous political game that is aimed at undermining the country’s institutions, the Transport, Infrastructure and Capital Projects Ministry said today.
Referring to the resignation of PN MP Ryan Callus from a post on the Lands authority, the ministry said the Opposition lacks credibility in its claims.
On 29 October, Callus had shown his disagreement to what a PN colleague had previously stated in Parliament – that parties should no longer be represented on the Planning Authority and Lands Authority. Callus had justified this by saying that the opposition should be there to ensure transparency.
Callus, the ministry said, had resigned because of changes to the functions of the Lands Authority CEO, which were made three months ago. But his statement defending his right to be on the authority board came after the changes to the CEO’s functions, the ministry pointed out.
The ministry said it welcomed constructive criticism and hoped that the Opposition was coherent in its position.
