PRESS RELEASE BY THE MINISTRY FOR EDUCATION, SPORT, YOUTH, RESEARCH AND INNOVATION

The Ministry refers to a press release issued by the Malta College for Science, Arts and Technology (MCAST) explaining the way forward for stronger internal systems within the College and the recovery of any public funds involved.

To this effect, and whilst respecting MCAST’s independence and autonomy, the Ministry shall be offering MCAST the services of the Internal Audit and Investigations Department (IAID) within the same Ministry. Having the powers of the law to do so, the IAID shall conduct an independent investigation and scrutiny.

The Ministry is following this matter of grave concern, leaving no stone unturned and demands that justice is done.
