Perhaps Labour’s Alfred Mifsud would like to explain why he made John Dalli’s daughter a director of his company, Crystal Finance, last month?

One of the Labour Party’s sizeable collection of long-haired sexagenarian gurus from the 1970s has been pontificating yet again.

In his newspaper column yesterday, Alfred Mifsud wrote:

The bottom of the barrel is being scraped when the PN accuse the PL leader of lying merely because he relates that a guy fired from the Party on suspicion of drug dealing tried to argue that the white stuff was ice, not drugs.

Oh, indeed.

Let’s leave aside the disgraceful spectacle of Alfred Mifsud repeating and promoting yet another of Joseph Muscat’s outrageous lies. The Labour club barman never argued that it was ice. What he said, and I quote the recording of his interview, is that he sent somebody to the kitchen to get some ice and that person found people there cutting up a ‘white block’.

This doesn’t mean that the white block was ice. The ice was just the errand, the reason the man went into the kitchen when he found people cutting up illegal substances.

It’s that lying scum Joseph Muscat who twisted the whole thing round to claim that it was ice.

Perhaps Alfred Mifsud, Joseph Muscat’s first employer in the real world outside the Labour Party – he gave Muscat a job at his company Crystal Finace, advising people on how to invest their money, and now all those people are worried because the Labour leader knows what they’ve got and where they’ve put it – might like to take a break and tell us something else instead.

Why did Claire Gauci Borda, one of John Dalli’s two daughters who hold all their father’s business in their names, become a director of Crystal Finance last month (the 18th, to be precise)?

No evidence emerges from the shareholders’ information that either Claire Gauci Borda, or her father or sister, or any companies which they wholly or partly own, has bought into Crystal Finance.

Has John Dalli’s daughter been appointed director because of her fabulous skills (which I am not questioning)? Or perhaps Alfred Mifsud is the sort of early bird who likes to plan ahead, and has got himself ready for the token women quotas on boards of directors?

    And why wasn’t Franco Debono shouting from the hilltops that the natural justice of the barman was breached when he was dismissed without a fair hearing?

    The look in his eyes says it all.

    Diabolical wolf in sheep’s clothing with a touch of amnesia.

    It is my impression that the more they did well under PN’s administration, the more they want more.

    ‘….and now all those people are worried because the Labour leader knows what they’ve got and where they’ve put it.’

    I think you nailed it.

    It adds to Joseph’s email address when he was MEP.

    It also reinforces my belief that the program is nothing but a series of ad hoc proposals, leading Joseph to contradict himself on a daily basis, going staunchly red one day, all flowery business the next.

    Another detail missed by the press, was Joseph’s analysis of his take on capital expenditure compared to the PN’s.

    He won’t use more than a quarter of predicted capital, describing his program as prudent and allowing ‘leeway’ for eventual necessities. Bad management, rife corruption anyone?

    The PN instead has covered 75% of same for the next four years. Maybe the PN knows what it intends to do, unlike Labour who could have been ensnared in a wait and see by the ones you mention.

    And all we get is speculation to the value of Mrs.Farrugia’s talent.

    Claire Gauci Borda’s aunt, sister to her father John Dalli, was married to the late Angelo Fenech of Tumas Group. Alfred Mifsud was/is financial advisor of Tumas Group. Connections maybe? Hbieb tal-hbieb? It looks a tangled web, for us at least. I feel sure that for them the picture is very nicely painted.
