Amazing to think that this is all being done without a public tender or expression of interest

So this is what Hani Hasan Naji Al Salah plans to build on the site of the public swimming-pool complex and beyond at Zonqor Point.

The more I think about it, the more I understand just how shocking it is that the whole thing was done without a public call for expressions of interest or a tender process.

Some crony gets in touch with the prime minister saying that one of his cronies, a Jordanian building contractor, is thinking of doing X in Malta, and all systems go to accommodate him.

Unbelievable. Il-Fusellu, Lorry Sant, Patrick Holland, and Danny Cremona were petty protectionist racketeers next to this lot.
