Standards Chief Drops Alex Borg Medicines Probe, Flags Flaw in MPs’ Code

The Standards Commissioner has dropped an investigation into Alex Borg, a Maltese politician, regarding his statements on medicines, citing a flaw in the MPs’ code of conduct. The decision has sparked debate, with some arguing that the code needs revision to ensure accountability. Borg, leader of the Nationalist Party, had faced scrutiny over his comments, but the investigation found issues with the existing code rather than misconduct by Borg himself.
