How can a full environment impact assessment be carried out in 4 months only (when it normally takes 12 months) ? And more importantly, how can it be done BEFORE the preferred tenderer (and his proposal) is chosen ?

Or is it a case where the proposal and preferred bidder has already been chosen … and the EIA was already commissioned ages ago ? ( and why not ? possibly commissioned before the election as well ? )

Exactly.

The more whining I hear from this crowd of ministers, the more I confirm that they don’t know where to start from.

There are exceptions of course: Manuel Mallia, Karmenu Vella, Joe Mizzi, Edward Scicluna and Evarist Bartolo.

Please note that I did not include Joseph Muscat; his role seems to be that of a slave driver whose oarsmen are always complaining .

They hit the ground scumming and scrounging.

He is a political dwarf nonetheless.

Good write-up, ciccio, but don’t be rash. Judge Bonello is no fool and is known to speak his (intelligent) mind without fear. Let him expose this travesty of a reform from inside. I believe he knows when it’s time to strike.

Actually, the situation must be very bad. About a week or so after the elections, Joseph Muscat had already told Reno Bugeja, on Dissett, that his party now needs to start thinking like a government. Two months have passed and apparently things have not changed.

Half the honey moon is already gone. And it’s like the spouses have not been in bed together as yet and they still think they are living at home with mummy.

Maybe that explains the recent cock-ups! How about thinking first, then deciding and then acting?
