The Campaign for National Independence (CNI) insists that with the decision to sell the Shipyard to foreigners and to reduce the number of Shipyard workers, the Government is not going to suppress the Shipyard workers call for an independent public inquiry on what happened in the Shipyard during the last few years.

The more the Government refuses to hold an inquiry, the more will the suspicion spread among the people that the Government wants to hide the truth about the Shipyard, with the hope that the people will blame the workers for the losses that the Shipyard made during the last few years.

The Shipyard engaged for three years a foreigner, Graham Crouser, who was said had great experience on projects such as that of the Fairmount.

But after only six months, Crouser either escaped or was sent away, and no one said why, and neither how much damages the Shipyard had incurred due to his fault.

The GWU is right to insist with the Government to hold an independent public inquiry to find out why were great millions lost on the “Fairmount” conversion contract.

This is a loss that brought the Government with its back to the wall about the future of the Shipyard after the end of this year, when the seven-year Restructuring Plan is brought to its end.

Prime Minister Gonzi should not be afraid for truth to be found if the Government is not to blame, or an accomplice in the abuses and irregularities that were made in the case of the “Fairmount” contract.

The people who will have to make good for the losses on the “Fairmount” contract, ought to have an answer to the many important and pertinent questions that CNI is making.

The first question is whether a feasibility study on such a big conversion project of the “Fairmount” had been carried out, and who made this study?

If no feasibility had been made, why was it not made when this contract was, in many of its aspects, the first one of its type for the Shipyard?

The second question is with regards to the clause in the contract that fixed ‘liquidated damages’, that is an agreed amount of damages that the Shipyard bound itself to pay, in case the work is not completed as agreed.

The Shipyard should not have bound itself with such a clause, and probably no shipyard would have accepted it. T

Tied with the ‘liquidated damaged’ is the issue of the finance of the project by the bank.

It is not known how the bank accepted to finance the Shipyard for this project when the conditions of the contract were so adverse to the Shipyard.

Therefore the question arises as to who forced the bank to finance the project with these conditions?

The other question that CNI is asking is whether the Shipyard Minister approved the conditions of the “Fairmount” contract and it’s financing?

It could not be believed that the Shipyard entered into such a big project as that of the “Fairmount” without Ministerial approval.

The case of the “Fairmount” contract is scandalous, but similarly is irresponsible and inefficient the method that work was conducted on this project.

Therefore suspicions were aroused that this is a case of corruption, apart from being one of great incompetence.

And the more the Government insists that it shall not hold and independent public inquiry, the more the suspicions are strengthened.

It is certain that the people shall not buy the excuse stated by the Prime Minister that it is not the time to point his fingers at anyone, when among those where the fingers are pointing is the Government itself.

CNI insists that in the interest of the Government and the people the truth should be known, as the Shipyard workers are insisting, by means of an independent public inquiry.

If yes, help CNI in its work so that the majority of the people would want to get rid of European Union rule.
