Former Maltese minister Justyne Caruana has sparked controversy after it was revealed that she was paid a staggering €78,000 for a 30 hours a week job as an advisor on tax and customs . The lucrative 12-month contract has raised eyebrows, with many questioning the justification for such a high salary.
Caruana’s new role, which is focused on providing expertise on tax and customs matters, has been criticized for its generous compensation package. The fact that she is working only 30 hours a week has led many to wonder if the salary is proportionate to the amount of work involved. Furthermore, the contract’s 12-month duration has raised concerns about the potential for favoritism and cronyism.
The controversy surrounding Caruana’s contract has sparked a heated debate about the use of public funds and the need for greater transparency in government contracting. Many are calling for a more detailed explanation of the contract’s terms and the justification for Caruana’s high salary. As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how this controversy will impact Caruana’s future in politics and the public’s perception of government accountability.
