In reply to David.

Yes, David you are innocent.

Before the elections, Vince Cassar used his position in the Chamber of Architects to manoeuvre himself to position to be appointed MEPA Chairman post-elections.

For example, on 24 August 2012 Vince Cassar said “Mintoff always endorsed and held in high regard the profession’s principles and was always loyal to the profession itself” ; something which most right minded people know to be untrue.

In reply to P Shaw. Who could have ever trusted Michael Falzon?.The MEPA (then PAPB) under Michael Falzon as minister, was responsable for its worst booboos and how can anyone forget the Busietta Gardens Disaster that ruined Wied id-Dies for posterity?

In reply to David. The appointments of eminent jurists as Judge Giovanni Bonello and Prof Kevin Aquilina and persons who are not known to be Labour supporters as former PN MP Franco Debono and former PN minister Michael Falzon and also the probable appointment of Achitect Vincent Cassar are examples. Besides I do not think that all the new Permanent Secretaries are Labour supporters. [Daphne - You are very innocent. It's charming, in a way.]

All I see is a queue of individuals, restricted by their lack of talent, taking it on the country.

How dare Gonzi engage Piano? They didn’t get to bluff anymore. Now that their patron is a lout, they get their two cents worth in.

Anyone seen Musumeci’s latest endeavour in Valletta? The work of someone who better stick to legal loopholes. Bent steel pipes sprayed black to make up for the error in design.

Anyone seen Astrid’s statute? It demands the coordinator have technical experts on any matter related to planning. No excuses.

Anyone seen Kenneth coordinating the opera? He was nowhere to be seen, except, of course, the interview.

Anyone seen Harrison on Lift? She refused to carry out a particular sketch making fun of her ‘endorsement’. Very professional.

Falzon will never subscribe to good design, not if Sandro can’t get down to it.

Benoit must be ill, what with yesterday’s edition of Flair. There she is stuck in Joseph’s ultimate trap, a sugary solution of well-meaning semi-articulate beings.

How dare Daphne show how it’s done? Witch, most definitely. Sorceress? Oh s&%*

Muscat’s legislation will be the barbaric attempt to democratise aesthetics, Xarabank style.

They’ll fall over each other to play. What Konrad did to physics, they’ll do to truth.

At least Herrera had the good sense to cut their crap about some ‘Trevisan’ roof.

Might be he feels the same about ownership, knows Joseph won’t force it.

Daphne I can`t agree with you on this one. It`s true that the opportunists, arse lickers and turncoats are queueing up for their rewards but I sincerely wouldn`t put Michael Falzon in the same category. His criticism has always been measured and constructive and I still hold this guy in high esteem. To be fair, he did consult the PN before agreeing to taking on this role and I believe he has already indicated that he will be donating any remuneration to charity.

Wasn’t Michael Falzon Minister for infrastructure – including the Marsaxlokk power station development – in 1987-1992, the period to which these allegations relate?

In the interest of transparency, and for the avoidance of any doubt, shouldn’t the Minister for Energy have avoided the appointment of Michael Falzon to anything related to oil purchases and Enemalta?

In reply to David S.

Maybe we can ask Frans Ghirxi as well?
