Reference is made to the article entitled ‘I got no complaints about John Bundy, says Owen Bonnici’ (November 21).

The question by the journalist was about whether I received complaints relating to alleged sexual harassment by Bundy.

Verbatim the question wasas follows:

“Minister, there were allegations, claims of sexual harassment [by Bundy] in the recent days. What’s your reaction towards this? And were you informed about this? And did you take any action?”

My answer to that question was that I received no official complaints relating to alleged sexual harassment.

Had I received an official complaint on sexual harassment I would have advised the PBS board on the way ahead.

Comment is, of course, free but facts are sacred.

Editorial note: This is a transcript of the relevant part lifted from the video recording available online: “Minister, I’d like to ask you some questions about John Bundy. In recent weeks, there were some allegations relating to claims of sexual harassment in recent days as well as some suspicious deals. What’s your reaction to all this and were you informed of this and did you take any action before he was dismissed?”
