In reply to Tinnat.

That’s more than a tad interesting.

Could there be a little elf planted at the TOM tasked with cleaning up the live transcripts of Joey & Co?

It’s clearly not a case of the old stenographer having missed or misheard a word here and there.

In this case, the editorial staff have added context that did not previously exist, and turned what was apparently a rhetorical question into a statement. Hmmmm.

Interesting:

The Times´ live reporting at 7.05pm:

¨ 6.58 pm – Dr Farrugia says Transport Malta is paying 500 euros per coach for 20 coaches a day being rented out by Arrivato pick up people from places and take them to Valletta. How much will this service cost a year? This is what the people want to know.¨

The Times´ live reporting OF THE SAME MINUTE at 8.40pm:

¨6.58 pm – Dr Farrugia says Transport Malta is renting up to 20 coaches per day at €500 each to pick up people from bus stops because of the inefficient bus service. This will cost the country several million euro per year¨

Surely someone in the Times did not allow himself to change the MP´s words around because the first time round he sounded silly??
