Government will respect any decision taken by the country’s institutions on the hospitals contract, former Labour mayor Daniel Attard has said. We respect our institutions and we respect their conclusion," Attard said on Saviour Balzan’s Xtra on Monday evening. The panel was discussing latest revelations on the hospitals deal, after a joint investigation revealed former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat is being probed by the police or his consultancy contract with a Swiss company that could have been used to disguise payments from the Vitals-Steward hospitals deal. “In 2016, it was Chris Fearne himself who requested an Auditor General investigation into the deal,” Attard said. “The AG is telling Robert Abela’s government to go after the money they stole from us,” he said.
