about the bical and the missing money
why should a bank donate and give LM300,000 liri to a party which couple of weeks/months ended in opposition????
it took about thirty years now for the story to came out
maybe in 2038 that is thirty years from now we can hear some new story about how the money spend on mater dei, not the suppost 25 million but those 300 million if they ended all in the new hospital or in some party headquarters

about how money supposed to be spent on the gozo hospital and ended building part of the PN pieta headquarters, a british minister and a certain my poulson ended in prison
so my accusations are based on facts not on fantasy

about mater dei the first STIMA UFFICJALI

was 25 million maltese liri
when alfred sant increased the beds from 400 to 1000 to be the same bed level like st lukes
the new np goverment in 1998 reduce the bed rate from 1000 to 800

according to in nazzjon this was done so the goverment JIFFRANKA 20 million maltese liri

and it cost 80 million instead of 100 million
so now we have a new hospital
smaller than st lukes
that ended costing to the maltese taxpayers only 300 millions maltese liri

i am sure u r one of those lucky guys that saw mater dei on the opening day so u havent had the need to wait 8 hours waiting in casualty just to fine u an empty bed

She asked him why MLP is not keen to publish the yearly Accounts and instead prefer to pay the fine.

Do anyone recall his answer?? He replied : “what account mrs?” he he he

In your place I would really think twice before mentioning BICAL. That was one of the greatest swindles ever in Malta. I suggest you read here first:
http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/2003/bical.html

Re your hospital claim, well it is a nice claim, but then so are the sightings of Elvis.

“why all gov projects under the pn are always over the budget”
You mean similar to the way the Qawra promenade was over the budget? Hang on wasn’t that the only project which was (and let me say it was badly needed) constructed by Sant?

The first nationalist headquarters built at Pieta was built after money suppost to be spent in gozo hospital was give to the pn for the new headquarters. the amount at tht time was LM5000. thats why all gov projects under the pn are always over the budget allocated. Can we be sure that money supposed spent on Mater dei was not diverted to the new pn headquarters????????????

[Moderator – John, you are suggesting that Nationalist officials embezzled government funds. I don’t think anyone has ever made such a claim.]

George Bonello Dupuis the treasurer of the PN at the time managed to collect the money- il-ftit mil hafna- in a short time to get the Banks, which incidentally at the time had the Government as the major share holder, off the PN’s back.
