Company Registration Number: C104333 PRIME Minister Robert Abela remains cautious when com- menting on his predecessor Jo- seph Muscat, insisting that he will not remark on the magisteri- al inquiry into the hospitals deal. "On the issue of impartiality of the inquiring magistrate, if I had to comment I would be going beyond what is expected by me. It is not up to me to decide or comment on the partilaity or im- partiality of the judiciary. That's a decision that is up to the mag- istrate or any other court that will have to decide on this issue." Last week, Joseph Muscat called for the removal of Magistrate Gabriella Vella as the inquiring magistrate of the Vitals hospitals inquiry after a joint investigation from the The Times of Malta, The Shift News and OCCRP re- vealed Muscat received consul- tancy fees from VGH Europe. He submitted a legal request for her removal from the inquiry and to have the investigation passed on to another member of the judiciary. Abela has been steering clear from commenting on Muscat's links to the hospitals deal in or- der to avoid influencing the pro- cess. "There is an ongoing inves- tigate process in front of the inquiring magistrate. Let's let those who are expected to lead this process to work in tranquil- lity and serenity." He added that anyone under investigation has rights guaran- teed at law. "It is up to anyone with com- plaints on this process, through the legal remedies, to make sure their rights are covered."

Prime Minister Robert Abela is steering clear of the controversy surrounding Joseph Muscat and his links to the hospitals privatisation deal JAMES DEBONO THE Labour Party has declared receiving two do- nations of €10,000 each from Schembri & Sons and Pavi Supermarket in 2021 and 2022 respectively. The information comes from the donation reports filed with the Electoral Commission and published on its website on Monday. The PN's donation re- ports for 2021 and 2022 have still not been pub- lished. The donation from Schembri & Sons, a construc- tion company based in Birżebbuġa and owned by Frank and Edward Schembri, was made during a fund-raising marathon held in June 2021. The donation from Pavi Supermarket Limited, which forms part of Paul Gauci's PG Group, was made in September 2022. Apart from these two donations, the PL did not receive any other contribution above the €7,000 transparency limit set at law. Neither the PL nor the PN had received donations above the €7,000 limit in 2019 and 2020. By law parties are only obliged to publish the source of donations above the €7,000 threshold, while donations above €25,000 from a single source are illegal. The PL received €1.92 million in donations in 2021 and €1.93 million in 2022 which was also the election year. In 2020, the party had received €1.35 million in donations. The PL collected a considerable amount of money from individuals and companies whose donations exceeded €500 but stayed below the €7,000 thresh- old, meaning the source will only be known to the Electoral Commission but not to the public. In 2021, the PL received 504 donations in this range which netted €1.4 million. In 2022, the party received 511 donations in this range which also net- ted €1.4 million. This mean that the party received an an average donation of €2,759 from these do- nors. PL registers surplus Meanwhile, the Electoral Commission also pub- lished on its website the Labour Party's accounts for 2021. They show the Labour Party registering a €944,992 surplus, up from a €297,603 surplus in 2020. The accounts show that the party had an income of €2.4 million and spent €1.4 million. The value of the party's current assets amount to €40.2 million. The PL's liabilities amounted to €4.5 million and these included borrowing of €3 million. PAVI Supermarket in Qormi
