The US citizen who bribes or attempts to bribe a public official or the equivalent anywhere in the world is subject to criminal prosecution back in his own country.”

What a poor example to chose! In recent years, America has had politicians who had previously worked as attorneys for multi-nationals. Once in office they lobbied to favour their ‘ex’ employers!

Definded by the convention as the offering, promissing or giving of something in order to influence a public official in the execution of his official duties. Bribes can take the form of money, other pecuniary advantages such as paid holidays or use of corporate jet or non-pecuniary such as favourable publicity………..does this sound a bell Ms Daphne ? maybe a Tonio Fenech? do you know him?

Whether is a corporate offering or personal, a public official should follow the ethics code,, but on second thoughts, your of the same breed wanna be Elite breed,,, just like you, ethics and respect are non-existant

[Daphne – Learn how to spell. Then your quotes from the OECD might be more credible.]

Yes, you’re right, you’re not my son, had you been you would have had the gumption to write under your own name. Since you use the royal we, can you enlighten me as to whom you represent, and whereyou get your certainties from.

il-lejborist, it was just one person who gave the PN their electoral win- ALFRED SANT.

Perhaps, one day Daphne will wake up in a good mood and accept the fact that rational people who are capable to make an informed decision to vote labour and legitimately and intelligently rule out another 5 years of PN, do exist out there. Perhaps she will no longer see these people as aliens. Perhaps she will realise that these people might have a point or two in their favour when they criticise this government. Perhaps she will also realise that after a lifetime of PN in government, the country could use a little bit of Labour, if only to test them out. And, perhaps, one day donkeys will fly!

[Daphne – A lifetime of PN in government? Whose lifetime? Certainly not mine. Half my lifetime was spent under Labour. I went to primary school, secondary school, sixth form, worked, married and had two children – all without a single interruption in the Labour government. So I was right in suspecting that you’re still in your early 20s, hence your belief that we have suffered little more than disaster in your lifetime, primarily because you have no means of comparison and probably not even the intelligence to assess and analyse facts rationally.]
