Following the response issued by the Housing Authority, it is even clearer that an official or officials within the Authority were involved in ensuring that one of its employees could purchase a public property she is currently renting.
According to the Housing Authority, Chantelle Cassar’s application to purchase the property does not fulfil the legal criteria for purchase.
The government scheme known as “Sir Sid ta’ Darek” stipulates that it applies only to properties in Valletta, Xatt ir-Risq, Senglea, Mtarfa, Pembroke, Sliema (Tigné) and Marsaskala (Qasam tal-Bujar).
The property currently being rented by Chantelle Cassar, and which she has applied to purchase, is located in San Ġwann.
Her application is therefore clearly inadmissible, but someone ensured that it remained pending in order to change the rules, accommodate her and eventually sell her the property.
Former Housing Authority CEO Leonid McKay has a great deal to explain. Perhaps he can do so during a police investigation, although I am not holding my breath. He is now the CEO of Transport Malta.
