The Times says that standard procurement practice is not being observed at Mt Carmel Hospital and hundreds of staff are being recruited by private companies that were handpicked to provide service without calls for tenders. The paper says that the situation has drawn the concern of government’s auditors.
The Times reports that Rabat residents are objecting to an application for the development of a 47-room hotel in Saqqajja hill, saying it will negatively impact the aesthetics of the area. The proposed boutique hotel would covert two properties in Saqqajja Square and St Augustine’s Avenue into a 4-storey structure.
