Prime Minister Robert Abela has come to the defense of Jason Corradino, the chair of the Lands Authority, following criticism over his reappointment despite a damning court judgment that highlighted significant flaws in the authority’s operations under his leadership. Abela emphasized that Corradino is doing the job he is paid for, and the government stands by his ability to lead the authority. The controversy surrounding Corradino’s reappointment has sparked debate about governance and accountability within Malta’s public institutions.
