The ADPD party has asked the auditor-general to investigate the 'golden handshakes' received by MPs who leave the Cabinet.

The party observed that Justyne Caruana is currently in the news, having resigned from the Cabinet, for a second time, this time after breaching ethics in the award of a contract to a close friend. 

Rosianne Cutajar also resigned her post as parliamentary secretary a few months ago.

Party leader Carmel Cacopardo observed that there was no information on what payments were made. 

He, therefore, asked the auditor-general to investigate what criteria are used to establish the payments and whether verification measures need to be introduced.
