					<description><![CDATA[How can it happen that Dr Kimberley is offering private consultancy services while working for an Authority? How can a PM allow that to happen? Doesn&#039;t he see here the conflict of interest or is he closing his eyes on purpose? In that case he is NOTHING better than Dalli (if he really closed his eyes - what I do not believe in this special case).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In her capacity as a lawyer representing a client I think that Gayle was doing her job. Correct me if I&#039;m wrong but the issue is being portrayed as she was on the take.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - No, not at all. I don&#039;t think anyone is portraying it that way. It&#039;s more of a matter of how she got involved. Her close links to Iosif Galea, her colleague at the LGA, who is a business partner and very close friend of Silvio Zammit (Silvio takes a hot lunch to him at the office every day) are what makes this whole thing questionable, given that she is supposed to have been working for Swedish Match independently of Silvio/Iosif/Dalli. It was Dalli&#039;s determination in not mentioning her name and saying that she knew nothing (very offensive, in my view) that alerted me to look more closely at the matter. He seemed to be very keen not to make her identity known, and given the enthusiasm with which he&#039;s been bandying other people&#039;s names about, that immediately made me suspicious. Dr Kimberley may simply have been silly to get involved, but even that sounds offensive, really. She can&#039;t be that naive and trusting. She worked in Brussels for several years, so surely she knows how things are done and NOT done.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The only reason, apart from being an egomaniac, that I can see why Dalli is trying hard to put his version of events across to the public, is if there is a trial by jury.

Once he was arrested, he would have to be careful what he said on TV and in the press.

Else why not shut up and go on a long holiday.

Maybe he fears the worst and needs to limit the damage.]]></description>
