As though it isn’t bad enough that those who bribed Enemalta officials/workers to fix their smart meters so that they could steal electricity are being let off. Now we’re going to have smart meters in illegal shacks built on public land too.

82% of respondents on Times of Malta want them demolished.

I needed a MEPA permit to get my meter.

The sooner the better, as long as it takes the majority with it.
The minority will be capable of some less glamorous solution.
Of course they’ll give them smart meters. Some said at least they won’t get away with daylight electricity robbery from the main road supply itself.
But wait for it – since they’re going to get their smart meters, they find a legal loophole somewhere, and declare that they are now permanent residences with legal setups, just like everyone else’s home.
Fixing smart meters is not going to solve much. Following the run of pipes all along the ahrax area will reveal surprises where water and electricity are involved. It only takes an hour ramble, less costly, more practical and effective.
All that is needed to make it a complete farce, is to supply them with tampered smart meters! Ha!
Also they want the water mains to be changed as it is old an leaking! They are complaining about the low water pressure now! Ha!
Also is this shanty town connected to the main sewer? I wonder!
When foreign investors who want to work in a secure and stable economy see these “off the cuff” strange decisions being taken by an “anything goes” administration, no one can blame them if they start searching for greener pastures.
Dishonesty is the best policy in Dr Joseph Muscat’s Malta.
We had bought a very old house which we wanted to restore. It already had a MEPA permit which included the building of an additional floor and the fitting of a lift which we did not want to do, at least, not initially.
The old owner removed the meter for the house before we took possession which meant that we had no electricity while doing the renovations because we could only obtain a new meter after the issuance of a completion certificate by the architect/MEPA.
Since we had not built the additional floor or added the lift, we could not obtain a completion certificate.
This is how difficult it is made (quite rightly I feel otherwise people get a permit to build A then build B). Now you see what happens in Armier and it turns your stomach.
Demolition is the only acceptable course of action and the way this has been treated by all governments over the last 40 years has been disgusting. This type of thing encourages illegality.
Last Sunday I went up to Armier, and it was so fully packed, that I had to park the car by the side of one of the illegal shambles. To add insult to injury, I had to ask the owner if it was OK, if I parked the car there.

Tal-biki. No sense of what is right or wrong.
No person who breaks the law should be given trust and made a public official.
But why am I surprised? Criminally convicted Engerer was proclaimed a soldier of steel.
