Here’s the latest on those corrupt frauds. After a tip-off from a reader this morning, I went to the Malta Council for Science and Technology website to find, under the ‘The Team’ section, that the executive chairman has promoted his girlfriend.

Lara Boffa, who joined the Malta Council for Science and Technology as her boyfriend’s personal assistant and PR officer after a fraudulent interview process in which other, properly qualified candidates were set up by the Employment & Training Corporation, is now listed as PROJECT EXECUTIVE.

When I last looked for the purposes of another story a couple of months ago, she was still down as personal assistant and PR.

The press needs to be looking at this too, as the executive chairman of a state council or corporation may notpromote the woman he is sleeping with to a higher position and salary scale. The woman he is sleeping with shouldn’t even be working in the same office or for the same organisation.

Oh, but they don’t really work in the same office, do they – because we’ve just discovered that he only goes in on Wednesdays. Maybe she stays home that day, to catch up on the laundry.
