Stqarrija dwar il-Ħatra għall-Kariga ta’ Prim Imħallef tal-Qrati.

Il-Kamra tal-Avukati tagħmel referenza għall-istqarrija li kienet ħarġet ftit ġimgħat ilu dwar il-proċess tal-ħatra għall-kariga ta’ Prim Imħallef tal-Qrati. Sfortunatament, minflok ma s-sitwazzjoni ġiet indirizzata b’sens ta’ responsabbiltà istituzzjonali, l-iżviluppi riċenti wrew li l-proċess mhux biss ma ġiex konkluż, iżda li din issa degenerat f’sitwazzjoni  li ma tagħmilx ġieħ lill-ogħla istituzzjonijiet tal-pajjiż. Dak li kellu jkun proċess serju, matur u diskret issa qed jixbah aktar farsa pubblika. Il-Kostituzzjoni tipprevedi maġġoranza ta’ żewġ terzi proprju biex din il-ħatra tkun frott ta’ qbil nazzjonali u mhux ta’ kalkolu politiku. Il-fatt li l-partiti politiċi ma rnexxielhomx jaslu għal ftehim, u li l-proċess ġie mġiegħel jiżvolġi fil-pubbliku permezz ta’ spekulazzjonijiet u tixrid ta’ ismijiet ta’ kandidati potenzjali, juri nuqqas serju ta’ tmexxija u ta sens ta’ responsabbiltà nazzjonali. Il-Kamra temmen li l-klassi politika falliet lill-pajjiż meta ħalliet proċess daqshekk delikat jiġi strumentalizzat għal finijiet politiċi. Il-pubblikazzjoni u d-diskussjoni pubblika ta’ ismijiet ta’ membri tal-ġudikatura…

Sejħa għal Żewġ Imħallfin

Stqarrija dwar il-Ħatra għall-Kariga ta’ Prim Imħallef tal-Qrati

Il-Kamra tal-Avukati qed tagħmel referenza għall-proċess kostituzzjonali li għaddej bħalissa dwar il-ħatra għall-kariga ta’ Prim Imħallef tal-Qrati. F’dan ir-rigward, il-Kamra ma tistax ma tesprimix it-tħassib tagħha dwar il-fatt li qed jissemmew pubblikament ismijiet ta’ kandidati prospettivi qabel ma ntlaħaq qbil bejn iż-żewġ naħat tal-Kamra tad-Deputati. Il-Kostituzzjoni ta’ Malta tipprevedi li l-ħatra għall-kariga ta’ Prim Imħallef għandha ssir b’maġġoranza ta’ żewġ terzi (2/3) tal-Kamra tad-Deputati. Fid-dawl tad-delikatezza u l-importanza ta’ din il-kariga, il-Kamra tal-Avukati kienet tistenna li l-partiti politiċi jaslu għal qbil dwar l-isem tal-persuna magħżula qabel ma dan jiġi diskuss jew imxandar fil-pubbliku, sabiex jiġi evitat li ħatra daqshekk sensittiva tispiċċa strumentalizzata politikament. Barra minn hekk, il-Kamra tal-Avukati tikkundanna bla ebda riżerva l-attakki personali li qed isiru fuq il-mezzi tal-midja soċjali fil-konfront tal-membru tal-ġudikatura li ssemma fil-midja ftit tal-jiem ilu bħala kandidat għal din il-kariga. Il-ġudikanti tagħna huma persuni li jaqdu dmirijiethom b’serjetà u b’dedikazzjoni, u kwalunkwe attakk fuq l-integrità…
