ANNEX MEA’s 174 Proposals A – INTRODUCTION GOVERNANCE 1
The country’s governance systems need strengthening and parliamentary reforms are required to restore Malta’s reputation. Corruption can no longer remain unaccounted for.
2
Government needs to take immediate action to minimise as much as possible the length of time the country spends in the FATF grey-list.
Positions of Authority and Positions of Trust 3 The number of position-of-trust appointments must be limited to a maximum number per ministry. 4
Members of Parliament should not be appointed as persons of trust, or receive any other appointment with government entities as this may bring them in conflict with their duties in Parliament.
5
There shall be full public disclosure of contracts, remuneration conditions, including bonuses and perks, of persons occupying positions of trust.
6
All persons occupying a position of trust, including consultants, with public entities and who have not been employed through a recruitment process should be subject to a periodic audit by an independent board to justify their position.
7
Key positions in Authorities need to be approved by a two thirds majority in Parliament.
