Austin Gatt hides behind ‘pack of lies’

The ministry for infrastructure, transport and communications yesterday evaded any attempts at explaining serious reports of leaked passwords from the government server, sticking simply to shooting down Labour media reports as “a pack of lies”.
According to the Labour media, employees at the government’s IT agency MITTS were under police investigation over alleged leaks of passwords and sensitive information from the main government server.
While confirming that an investigation was going on, Austin Gatt’s ministry said yesterday that “any comment prior to the conclusion of the said investigation is uncalled for and possibly prejudicial to the investigation”.
The ministry said it will “comment fully once the Police assure the Ministry that comments made will not prejudice the investigation” but ended its statement adding: “The only statement that needs be made at this time is that the allegations being carried in the Labour Party newspapers are a ‘pack of lies’.”
