Let us for argument’s sake believe what Karmenu Vella said about RCC. How can one consider that as being in any way evidence to prove Jeffrey’s allegations? It’s beyond ridiculous.

People in politics in Malta have a huge problem.

They operate and manoeuver in a country the size of a small town.

Everybody practically knows everybody else or, at least, a close relative.

Therefore, when one of them purports to prove that another politician attempted to “feather his own nest” and cites Karmenu Vella as a prime witness, the national reaction is one of scorn and incredulity.

It just cannot be anything else but.

These accusations and counter-accusations are indeed confusing people in general.

The damage caused by the vicious JPOS, spiteful Mugliett and immature Debono is now beyond repair.

I think it would be more practical for the PM to call for general elections AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and in the meantime start reaching out seriously for the ‘lost sheep’.

Impersonal party emails sent to all and sundry are not too effective either in rallying the troops, especially when they end up being sent to Labour shadow ministers too.

When K.V. was a minister, people flocked t5o his door to pay – if I remember correctly – LM50 to be able to purchase a TV set.

What we were never told was where those LM50 ended up.

Where they passed on to the treasury or did they end in someone’s pocket? If the latter in whose pocket?

Members of the old MLP but militating in the new movement try to paint themselves whiter than white but they still have a lot of expalining to do.

I very much doubt that most voters will be looking at the finer details of this whole saga.

Although I’m sure that the main thrust of these accusations against Mr Cachia Caruana is false, the damage has been/is being done.

It’s a PR war and no matter how wrong JPO, and the PL by association, are proved, it’s the PN that is looking like a sinking ship to most people out there.

Can somebody please explain this to me: The motion to remove RCC took several sittings. The Labour party and Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando had all the opportunity to bring this issue in the open. They didn’t do it. Why?

Very evasive and misleading answer from “il-Guy”:

“He noted that Mr Cachia Caruana was not denying that mistaken decisions had been taken by Air Malta, but was only trying to distance himself from them, even though he was a member of the board, and the board was unanimous in its decisions.”

RCC has made it abundantly clear that he supported those decisions. His difficulty is with the implementation of those decisions and that’s where KV has questions to answer.

In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia.

Various, but not the only one mentioned in JPO’s allegations! And now it has turned out that the “various” are only two chaps, one of which has already made a mockery of the whole thing by his sworn statement.

Why do i think that this farce is going to smash right back in Labour’s face?
