Silvio Zammit’s business associate and John Dalli’s cohort, Iosif Galea (an employee of the Lotteries & Gaming Authority) was one of the LGA representatives on the adjudicating board for the award of the new National Lottery licence.
In other news, Silvio Zammit – an addicted and heavy gambler – has just been granted a permit by Maltco and the Lotteries & Gaming Authority to open a lottery point of sale.

Daphne please chang the time to winter time I am sending this at 22:07 not 11:07 pm.
Mr Kasiotakis, you are either a very,very brave man or a complete imbecile.
I wish you luck.
Really.
Very new outlet too only a couple of weeks old. Iosif Galea is promoting yet another company called Oxygen Promotions Malta. He has a pic of himself and the place looks terribly like Libya but I may be wrong.
Does the Lazy Corner really need another lotteries outlet?
Why are people surprised at Silvio Zammit’s involvement in all this?
All Sliema and people who know him knows his brown-nosing capabilities and talents for trying to suck up to the in-crowd. Possibly, one cannot get a cornier individual. The part on The Times’ video where he was filmed with a broom pretending to sweep up the street whilst his black shoes were gleaming was something straight out of Baywatch.
My question remains: how did the Nationalist Party allow this individual to stand as a candidate, after all that the council went through last year? These are the visible slip-ups which overshadow all the good things the party does on a macro level.
The first reason is that the PN has an incompetent individual as Secretary General who is partly the reason why the PN is in the state that it’s in and that’s not an opinion.
The second reason is that some people are not capable of seeing a wider picture than a coffee morning. How can one otherwise explain why certain Members of Parliament garner such a high number of votes even when they repeatedly appear on Super One talking about slow punctures.
The third reason is that the PN has a Prime Minister who has allowed all this to happen.
Yep, and all three need to go. But the PM won’t budge, the people won’t see beyond their coffee mornings, and Paul Borg Olivier won’t go either.
Love the Baywatch comment!
Someone posted this on Facebook earlier today:
Why does John Dalli always wake up late?
He keeps hitting the snus button.
Daphne are you aware of the golden handshake Zammit was given when Alfred Sant sacked him as director of the National pool after he had been appointed by the pre-1996 Government?
What qualified him as director of the national pool defeats me unless it is his physical attributes that give the impression he is a professional swimmer.
Not to mention his massive encroachment on the Sliema sea front turning his cheap kiosk into a prime business venture.
If I remember correctly, the contract for managing (!!) the National Pool Complex was drawn up a few months before the 1996 election, and Silvio had made sure that the contract provided for a clause that, if he ever sacked from the post, he gets a fantastic pay-off sum.
After Sant was elected, he was naturally sacked and got his nice cheque in settlement.
I am sure many others, who have obtained cushy jobs through the right connections, are trying to do the same as they scent a Labour victory.
That’s proof, if one was ever needed, that the Nationalists are really not much better than their Mintoffian counterparts when it comes to blatantly exercising their power of incumbency.
If I remember correctly, the Court had awarded him Lm14,000 as compensation for unfair dismissal. The judgement was delivered when the PN were re-elected after 1998. I always wondered how he managed to get that job.
@Anna, if I remember correctly it was LM40,000 and not LM14,000.

Iosif wasn’t the only Maltco employee on that board who was expecting approval to open a new lotto office, believe me
