					<description><![CDATA[From The Malta Independent (and talk of Labour boomerangs..):

&lt;strong&gt;Frank Sammut was on Fuel Procurement Board in PL government&lt;/strong&gt;

From Enemalta records it results that Dr Frank Sammut was a member of the Fuel Procurement Board in the 1996-1998 Labour administration when Enemalta was the political responsibility of the Leo Brincat, the Department of Information said.

From the same records it results that Sammut was not a member of the same committee in 2003 or 2004, when the alleged commissions were paid.

Dr Frank Sammut graduated from the University of Malta with a Masters in Chemistry and practised, among others, as a petroleum, bunkering and oil storage specialist. He worked with different companies until joining MOBC in 1988 where he was employed till 2004.  During this time he held the following positions that are of relevance:

    1987 – 1990 – Member of the Board of Directors of Enemalta

    1987 – 1998 – Member Fuel Procurement Committee Enemalta

    1992 – 1994 – Consultant to Chairman &#038; Board of Directors Enemalta for Petroleum and Gas  Divisions;

    16 August 2003 – 15 August 2004 – Consultant to Chairman, Enemalta for a period of one year to “reorganise and rationise the storage of petroleum products at Enemalta” and “to give advice and make recommendations as necessary on the management and running of the Petroleum Division”.

Dr. Frank Sammut was employed by Mediterranean Offshore Bunkering Company Limited (MOBC) in 1988 and his employment was terminated on 13 July 2004 by letter from the Chairman which states:

“Following the decision taken by Cabinet and announced by the Hon. Minister Austin Gatt, MOBC will cease bunkering operations as being conducted at present.

In view of the above the post of CEO shall be abolished and I hereby give you notice of termination of your contract with the company.”

Since Dr Sammut had a three year contract with MOBC legal advice obtained was that he was due compensation and he was paid Lm 41,000 in compensation.]]></description>

HURRAY!!! MALTA WITHOUT DCG :-D

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I can&#039;t believe they&#039;ve sold you that rubbish. But then you DO vote Labour. Now sit down, drink a cup of tea, and try to reason this over clearly: exactly how does a Labour government mean Malta without me? Planning to assassinate me with immunity, are you?]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

It seems Konrad is another big mouth. He mentioned Algeria as a gas supplier and yes you’re spot on about Konrad asking Minister Fenech about how fuel was purchased.

Tomorrow the other big mouth will be celebrating his birthday

					<description><![CDATA[Isn’t Enemalta a fortizza Laburista (similar to the Malta Drydocks, Malta shipbuilding and Air Malta)? 

Any attempts to reform the organization have been blocked by the GWU which represents 90% + of the workers. Management of Enemalta is also dominated by MLP loyalists.

The PN should outline how much of Malta’s debt is a legacy of the MLP (8,000 workers employed in 1987, Drydocks and Enemalta). 

One can only imagine how much new debt a new MLP government will accumulate, which will not be related to infrastructural projects.]]></description>
