Another husband-and-wife set-up in the prime minister’s secretariat
Published:

Given that the prime minister has chosen to lead by example in giving his wife a job in his private secretariat (job description: reading fairy tales to children, but presumably not on a pro bono basis like her predecessor), he has ended up with the elements of a French farce in his office.
It turns out that the Kevin Abela on the staff list for the PM’s secretariat is married to Claudette Abela Baldaccino (the failed Labour MEP candidate facing European Commission fraud charges) who also works there.

What about all those Schembris in there?
how nice…the family is growing
It is a cost saving exercise, in this way there will be only one kindergarden in Kastilja.
The institution would be an old people’s home.
Is Franco Debono participating? His baguette is bigger than everyone else’s baguette.

Slowly but surely, Kastilja is becoming like Noah’s Ark.
An easy way around the ‘hames-mitt ewro zieda fil-gimgha’.
If the government selects his people on the basis of their ability he will not find anyone to fill any vacant post. Super One employees taken, Renato and the likes already on pension, who else? He is turning to their husbands and wives.
Meritocracy my foot. Where is Franco when you need him.
Kevin Abela’s job is looking after the maintenance of Villa Francia in Lija and of the prime minister’s residence at Girgenti.
Amoral familism taken to extremes.
