The following are the stories making the front pages of Malta's newspapers.
Times of Malta leads with a National Auditor General report that found that a top Lands Authority official "suppressed" a report valuing public land in Sliema at more than double the amount Fortina Group paid for it.
Lino Farrugia Sacco, who chaired the authority's board of governors and who died in 2021, was found to have withheld the external valuation after telling the audit firm concerned that their €18 million figure for the land would create "problems" for him.
The paper also leads with how the government will be considering and taking into account the advice of medical experts who have insisted that roadside drug testing should focus on actual impairment, not just the presence of a substance in a body.
The Malta Independent also dedicated its top story to the NAO report, which found that the government failed to secure fair value for the land and that Fortina paid millions less than what the audit firm valued for removing land conditions.
It also reports that the proposal to reconstruct an abandoned hotel on ODZ land in Mellieħa has been recommended for refusal.
In-Nazzjon leads with PN leader Alex Borg's request for an urgent debate on the Fortina land transfer report.
l-orizzont leads with comments by the Prime Minister during a pre-budget consultation meeting with representatives of the General Workers' Union (GWU), who promised further initiatives in favour of workers.
