Eligibility JobsPlus Permit No.304/2023 THE Jean Paul Sofia inquiry report has been concluded and will be presented to the Prime Minister in the coming days, MaltaToday has learnt. The inquiry board led by Om- budsman Joseph Zammit McKeon has wrapped up its findings and recommendations, sources privy to the investigation said. "The final report is expected to be passed on to the Prime Minister in the coming days, well before the end of March deadline the board had set itself last November," the sources said. The inquiry board also includes Auditor General Charles Deguara and perit Mario Cassar as members. It was set up in August last year after Prime Minis- ter Robert Abela finally gave in to the demands of the victim's family to hold a public inquiry. Jean Paul Sofia, 20, died on 3 De- cember 2022 when a building still under construction at the Corradi- no Industrial Estate collapsed. Five people – the project archi- tect, two developers and two con- tractors – were charged in July 2023 with involuntary homicide, forgery and falsification, and negli- gence. The cases against them are ongoing. Sofia's parents had demanded a public inquiry be held to establish whether their son's death was also the result of failings by the State to regulate the construction industry properly. The Prime Minister had refused the request and the Labour Party parliamentary group had even vot- ed against an Opposition motion in parliament to set up a public in- quiry. The parliamentary session saw Sofia's suffering parents confront government MPs about their de- cision to refuse a public inquiry, in scenes that caused public outrage. Abela eventually recanted a few days later just before a large pro- test was called outside Auberge de Castille. The public inquiry was tasked to probe several aspects, includ- ing how the public land where the collapsed building stood was trans- ferred to the developers; whether the State had put in place laws to regulate health and safety in the construction sector and whether these were effectively enforced; and whether any State entity tasked with enforcing and regulat- ing the construction sector failed in its duties. The inquiry board was also asked to make recommendations to strengthen health and safety pro- cedures on construction sites. According to the terms of refer- ence the Prime Minister is obliged to publish the inquiry report within three days of receiving it and if he fails to do so, the board has the au- thority to publish it itself. The board concluded its hearings in November last year, giving the Sofia family and the State Advocate until the end of December to make written observations. The board heard 69 witnesses, resulting in around 1,000 pages of transcripts. Additionally, the board also had some 1,800 pages of documents. The board's chair, Joseph Zam- mit McKeon had said back then that the inquiry report will be sent to the Prime Minister by 28 March, 2024.
