The Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry has issued a damning statement, appealing for the state to “step up and clean up for real” in light of recent revelations in Malta’s political sphere.

The chamber has appealed to the political class to “take note of the serious repercussions of poor standards of governance and unethical behaviour by politicians that are currently coming to the fore”.

“The political price of shenanigans at the highest institutions of the country is ultimately paid by the country as a whole, multiple times over,” it said in a statement. 

“Persons in public office need to be mindful of the fact that, irrespective of their right to a private life, when unethical behaviour becomes public knowledge, their position in public office becomes untenable.”

It continued to say that this is why persons in public office should strive to maintain high standards of behaviour in both their public as well as their private life.

The Malta Chamber expressed that it is disappointed at the handling of the current crisis of standards in public life, which is allowing the country to go through another spiral of reputational damage.

“This is extremely unfair to the many politicians and private citizens who abide by high ethical standards and continue to work hard in the best interests of the country.”

“Reputational damage hurts international business prospects and the livelihood of many. It makes a mockery of the country in international fora and reinforces poor ethical standards among upcoming generations,” it continued.

“It is high time the highest authorities of the country step up and clean up for real.”
