According to Sunday newspaper Illum, Gozo Channel refused to answer how much it is paying for office space rent until the Cirkewwa terminal is completed, citing "commercially sensitive information".
It was only after Finance Minister Tonio Fenech intervened that the ministry revealed the sum, which is being paid by the taxpayer.
Illum also reports the office space is being rented from Grena Investments Ltd, whose director happens to be the cousin of Joseph Grech's father.
Up until last Monday, Joseph Grech was the chairman of Gozo Channel.
