Irregularities in BWSC tender - Auditor General

After amending Environmental laws, the Government has granted the power station tender to the Danish company BWSC. A number of clauses in the contract definitely showed irregularities in the government's officials behavior. In the same contract the government accept that he would bind himself with astronomical penalties if MEPA, an independent authority from the government would not issue the necessary permits in due time. The government also bound himself with a another huge penalty if he would step back from the agreement reached with BWSC. The Auditor General also saw something fishy in the way that the tender was awarded when it was done in total secrecy from the media's eyes. Another damning thing about this whole issue was that the other interested parties did not appeal from the tender's award because they were unaware that the same tender was awarded to BWSC.
The Auditor also said that interested parties did not cooperate during the investigations process, including the mastermind behind this plan Joe Mizzi who received thousands as commission from abusing of his position in Enemalta.
Environmental impact assessments were also not agreed beforehand when this huge tender was granted to the Danish company.
According to the Auditor General Alex Tranter should have resigned long time ago! At the same time that Joseph Muscat was addressing a press conference about the same issue the Government issued a press release saying that there was no proof of Corruption in the awarding of this Tender! Unbelievable, the Maltese citizens are going to pay for Government's irregularities both financially and also health wise!
