What ‘Chief of Staff”? He may be very well versed in selling newsprint and so many other profitable items.

But, and a big but indeed, who says he can run a proper PM’s private secretariat? I don’t.

I have dealt with private secretriat personnel for ages – and can well recognize competence and efficiency when I see it.

They knew that already. Mrs Prim Ministru already has an email account.

You are right.

It’s always the cheats who accuse people of cheating; the thieves who accuse people of stealing; the liars who accuse people of lying.

The secret to a fun life is spotting who is what in this world.

With Labour, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel, bless ’em.

“According to its spokesperson, MITA had also thought of the incoming administration: prior to the general elections, it had leased and configured 224 PCs and laptops which were made available to the chief information officers within each ministry.

“A procedure is in place to provision users with the relevant ICT services including a user account, email and office productivity software,” the spokesman explained.”

Imbasta bic-Chief of Staff a’ la Obama.

Daphne! As I was reading your ‘positive’ comment, I intoned it, in the voice of someone I know whose words you could have stolen from her mouth, as I was reading.

Perfect, madam, perfect! And spot on, as usual.
