[Watch] Government justified over certain political appointees – Carol Aquilina

The new president of the Nationalist Party’s administrative council Carol Aquilina says certain appointees should hold government’s trust.

Interviewed by Saviour Balzon on Reporter, Siggiewi’s deputy mayor Karol Aquilina said there are certain positions that should be given to individuals who enjoy government’s trust.

Aquilina was asked to comment about the fact that the PN is being criticised over appointing individuals according to their political affiliations, rather than on basis of meritocracy.

“There are certain positions which government has interest to see – and it is justified – that persons appointed enjoy its trust,” he said.
