DRIVERS found guilty of killing
others while driving under the
influence of drugs or alcohol
can no longer get a suspended
sentence.
This is one of a number of
changes aimed at deterring
people from driving under the
influence of alcohol and drugs.
In a Facebook post on Tues-
day, Home Affairs Minister By-
ron Camilleri said that through-
out the summer, government
was concluding a number of
internal and external consulta-
tion processes that will lead to
a reform that will, among other
things, introduce roadside drug
testing.

AFTER Labour deputy mayor
Jonathan Dingli's half-hearted
apology over a sexist comment on
Facebook, the party's leadership
does not feel it should take any
further action.
Deputy leader and MEP Alex
Agius Saliba told MaltaToday
while the comment does not re-
flect the party's values, he feels
the issue does not warrant fur-
ther action.
