					<description><![CDATA[It is only Dr. Joseph Muscat and the PL who are alleging  corruption about the BWSC and he failed to go to the Police Commissioner.

I assume if there was an indication of corruption the other bidders would have put forward a claim or else they would have reported the case to the police themselves.

This type of politics creates polorisation. Labour always alleges corruption and was never able to prove it. That is not healthy for a political party because you lose credibility.

That type of leadership is old-fashioned. We need mature politicians who tell us the truth and not create smoke on every development which is required for the islands.]]></description>

Joseph Muscat and Varist want us to believe that they are the only ones who are right about all this.  They have ascribed their premature conclusions to the European Commission.  Notice how they claim that the Commission confirmed the findings of the Auditor General.

Based on what they suggest, there was one massive collusion between all those involved, including the government, Enemalta management, bankers, suppliers, lawyers, consultants and auditors.

This must be bigger than Madoff&#039;s Ponzi scheme, and must make the cases against Dick Fuld and Calisto Tanzi look petty in comparison.

					<description><![CDATA[Joseph Micallef. Spot on my friend. He already declared that he will refund the VAT to those people who obeyed him and put their claim before the court, whatever the decision of the court would be.

Yes, this is highly dangerous. These things used to happen before 1987. We don&#039;t want a repetition of those black days. Moreover, the EUR 50,000000 will be paid back to these people who bought a new car from our own taxes. This person is politacally unreliable.]]></description>
