Recommends an anti-deadlock mechanism to unblock situations where the required agreement of two-thirds of parliamentary support for certain appointments is not reached.
The Parliamentary Ombudsman, Mr. Anthony C. Mifsud, presented the Ombudsplan 2023 to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Hon. Anglu Farrugia.
The Ombudsplan 2023 highlights the urgent need for an anti-deadlock mechanism to unblock situations where the required agreement of two-thirds of parliamentary support for certain appointments is not reached and makes recommendations to this effect.
As in previous years, the Ombudsplan 2023 also highlights issues that the Ombudsman considers that deserve particular discussion, namely the culture of sanctioning and the need for an efficient public service with sound values.
The Ombudsplan will be tabled in Parliament after it reconvenes from the summer recess and will be discussed later during a special sitting of the House Business Committee.
