Lara Boffa (see Labour billboard and rewind to several Labour tents in the election campaign) has got her iced bun. She’s been appointed to the Enemalta Corporation board.
And the other billboard stars?
Audrey Harrison got let down over the Police Commissioner business. Husband Neil didn’t get the job. So hang on in there for this MEPA officer to be whizz-banged through the ranks.
Finding an iced bun for that weirdo Albert Gauci Cunningham is going to be difficult. I’ll bet they’re still scratching their heads over that one.
Frederick Testa has been made head of drama at PBS, which effectively means a salary for choosing which soap operas to buy in from private production houses.

ha ha ha … saw this coming!
So from being a customer care representative and being a bore when talking during the electoral campaign, she gets to be a director on the board of the state energy corporation, at a time when the system is changing in ways that we are not quite sure about.
Alison Zerafa, a teacher, has been appointed to the Transport Malta board.
M’hemmx serjeta.
Sitting on the help desk and assigning support tickets to the right team, more like.
Who’s Alison Zerafa?
She is the sister of Lydia Abela,who is married to the President’s son, and currently a high official of P.L. X’tistenna? Ic- cejca jafu lil min ghandhom iqassmuha
Alison Zerafa is a sister to Darlene Zerafa, private secretary to Presidebt Abela, and to Lydia Abela (nee Zerafa), the president’s daughter-in-law and a Labour Party official. Alison is also mayor of the Labour led Cospicua Local Council.
= Sister to Lydia (now Abela) wife of Robert, the president’s son;
= new mayor (Labour) of Cospicua (Bormla);
= member of an avid Labour family;
= her other sister (? name) chairs the (president’s) Community Chest Fun(d) …

Why do I ask?
Pups, you say she was a customer care representative, but on the billboards she was presented to us (presented herself?) as a “Business Process Re-engineer”.
Do you mean this BPR thing is a euphemism for a customer care representative (a mobile telephone operator?)?
Could her appointment mean we’re about to see a re-engineering of the Arriva transport system?
“Pups, you say she was a customer care representative, but on the billboards she was presented to us (presented herself?) as a ‘Business Process Re-engineer’.”
That crossed my mind when I read this, this morning. They’ll say Enemalta could do with some BPR. Pity the corporation already has at least one experienced professional in its employ.
Last Post, the Business Process Re-Engineer is Lara Boffa, who now sits on the Enemalta Board.
As a Business Process Re-Engineer, she must have given Joseph Muscat a solution to change (read: re-engineer) the role of a customer care officer to a directorship on the Board.
Ciccio, that reminds of ‘musical chairs’ with job descriptions and power-wielding opportunities for wannabes in re-engineered companies.
There is no such thing as a re-engineer.
The BPR is what she wanted to be when she worked at customer care but then got the sack. Hence, her bitterness which led to having her promote PL during the campaign.
Get your facts right little Pups. She held a managerial post. An ex-colleague.
That s not what she told me…herself.
Was it in BPR?
I too know for a fact that she got fired from her help-desk job – she had said so herself.
Pardon my French and you can call me an uncouth, ineloquent troglodyte. But the only reaction I can muster is “X’iz-zobb?!”.
Seriously, x’iz-zobb?!
Don’t worry. In France they’d understand you :) Seriously, the Z… has become part of the French vocabulary.
Who is next?
Kenneth Zammit Tabona
Kevin Drake
Raymond Pitre
William Mangion
The list is seemingly endless.
New non-executive positions in non-existing boards carrying just a title and a remuneration must be set up.
Most of the remaining reward-entitled individuals will thus be appointed to a newly set up board the purpose of which is to consult broadly on the best means of setting up the non-existing boards made up of non-executive positions to reward all those not yet suitably rewarded or who, by dint of family or other relationships with said rewardees, might consider themselves entitled to some form of public recognition at the expense of the taxpayer.
Meantime, in the real world, the country and its economy will continue to go to the dogs.
And that old fart Privitera
Konsulent ghall-anzjani dwar l-uzu tal-Viagra.
Consultant on pensions reform, or POYC?
Is Kenneth Zammit Tabona still standing in line? Tsk tsk.
Yes, he is lined up to be placed as a Damien Hearst type installation entitled “Coff, b’cuc mwahhal mieghu” in the new museum of art.
Sweet.
Yes, right behind Cyrus Engerer.Tsk Tsk
@ The Sting – maybe he will be given the job as the curator at the museum dedicated to Mintoff
What is wrong with that? I have just been appointed Head of NASA.
As an ordinary citizen, I am still waiting to vote for board members as was promised.
@ Toni – so was I – but I gave up..
How much per year is this worth please?

“Yana Mintoff,- providing consultancy on the policy on poverty.” What can one say?
You forgot Willie Mangion. He’ll soon be appointed chairman of Maltasong.
