Mr Michael Falzon confirmed that he will continue to serve as Water Services Corporation (WSC) Chairman in a meeting with
Minister
for Investment, Industry and Technology on Tuesday, focusing on variation orders relating to the North Malta
and Gozo sewage treatment plants contract.
During
Tuesday’s meeting, the Chairman said that the Board of Director shared the
Minister’s view where the variations were concerned, adding that he is prepared
to continue chairing the board.
The
Minister expressed his satisfaction at Mr Falzon’s explanation.
On Friday, Mr
Falzon tendered his resignation after the Minister told him in a letter that it was “unacceptable” that the variations
were treated in a “superficial manner by the management”.
Mr Falzon had tendered his resignation, stating that his
position as Chairman was “untenable” due to the “contents and tone” on the Minister’s
letter, which implied “an astounding lack of trust in the Board of Directors
and in the management” that he heads.
