It’s not a sign of exhaustion. It is an answer to Tonio Fenech’s strong reprimand.

Do you remember when Scicluna came back to boast that he was so pleased to be sitting near the German Finance Minister. U Tonio tah hasla bil-pulit fuq Net TV.

Even MaltaToday, through Raphael Vassallo and Saviour Balzan are rooting for Mario de Marco. He is the best option, they say.

Well, Joe Mifsud was very famous for his “investigative journalism” when the PN was in government and also, and especially, during the 22-month of Sant’s government. he even published a book about the then ticketing-machines. Now he has a golden opportunity.

It’s not easy to find such dedicated individuals harbouring a secret death-wish on the rock.

One notices a dearth of ‘ investigative journalists ‘ in banana republics and communist/ex-communist states and, indeed, one has to have a one-way disregard for life and limb to ‘ investigate ‘ too deeply on this paradise island.

http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/en/blogsdetails/blogs/Joseph-s-mixed-messages-20130415

“Leo Brincat’s decision to appoint a committee to investigate the Sant Antnin permit EIA is also welcome, considering the damning contents of a MEPA audit office report unofficially released before the 2008 election.”

The mistake being committed by James Debono is that he is taking the draft audit office report to be gospel truth.

It is likely that the report was drafted by the then-investigating officer of MEPA audit office, Carmel Cacopardo. Just months later, Cacopardo published the draft report with the specific intent of gaining political advantage in the general elections of 2008. This clearly suggests that Cacopardo was biased when he drafted the report and that he had every interest to depict the government of the day in a bad light.

So if an investigation is to be carried out on the Sant Antnin plant, the investigation should also look into the audit office’s draft report, as a minimum, to determine whether or not that report can be relied upon.
