The Malta Developers Association (MDA) expresses its shock and concern over this afternoon’s incident in Santa Venera and is taking the necessary measures to help out in the difficult situation.
With immediate effect, the MDA has suspended one of its members who is involved, as an investor in the project, connected to this incident.
Without entering into the merits of this particular event, which are still to be established, the MDA feels that the immediate suspension of its member is the right ethical step in the circumstances until more clarity is established.
While sending a message of zero tolerance to all those who do not follow the rules, the MDA’s decision will be revised and decided upon, once all the facts of what actually happened are known.
The MDA has also taken it upon itself to provide temporary shelter to the innocent victims of this incident.
MDA President Sandro Chetcuti, who together with other council members, were immediately on site shortly after the incident happened, has already communicated with the Office of the Prime Minister and other government officials, that all those effected will be provided temporary shelter in a hotel, courtesy of the MDA and one of its members.
The MDA will continue monitoring the situation closely and assist all those involved.
