Newspaper post YOUR FIRST READ AND FIRST CLICK OF THE DAY WWW.MALTATODAY.COM.MT 14 15 LABOUR ministers and parliamentary secretaries have been told by Castille to seriously reduce their working hours at their ministries, and start cam- paigning in preparation for a November election. MaltaToday understands that ministers have been advised to set their sights on their constituents in what is likely to be a long hot summer campaign that will serve as a build-up to an early Budget, before firing the starting pistol for a short election cam- paign. Secretariats have been thrown into campaign mode and been asked to focus their energies on customer care relations, with a November election very likely on the cards – contradicting the vocal statements by Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, on more than one occasion, that he will complete his full five-year term and hold elec- tions in March 2018.

Refalo was asked what insurance cover he had requested for his art collec- tion, which includes some masters such as Mattia Preti, as well as other unique and well- known artists. While ministers are expected to fill in annual declarations of assets, the declara- tion is traditionally taken to include immovable property and financial assets. Questions put to his com- munications coordi- nator and ministry consultant yesterday made reference to whether Refalo's art collection, contents of which are known to this news- paper, should now be declared in his an- nual asset declaration.
