Former Finance and Foreign
Affairs Minister John Dalli has been appointed consultant to the government on
financial and industrial matters, three years after he resigned following
allegations on his conduct as a minister.
Prime Minister Lawrence
Gonzi, flanked by Mr Dalli, addressed a press conference at Castille to make
the announcement.
He said the
allegations made on the former minister were proved to be false.
A report by the Auditor General found no
irregularities.
Lawrence Gonzi beat John
Dalli in the election for PN leader in 2004 when Eddie Fenech Adami stepped
down.
