Repeat after Joseph: Malta Taghna Lkoll
Today’s new appointments: former Labour minister and failed Labour candidate Charles Mangion is Enemalta chairman. Joe Ellul Vincenti, who spoke in Labour’s igloo to laud the power station project, is deputy chairman. For Lara Boffa, see previous post. Enemalta board members include Labour MP Chris Agius’s brother, Steve, whose particular gifts are mysterious.
Tony Mejlaq (I can’t be fagged to explain) is chairman of the Water Services Corporation. Appointments to that board include Kevin Decesare, Forum Zghazagh Laburisti frontwoman and friend of Cyrus, Nikita Zammit Alamango (in her mid 20s), former Labour Party secretary-general Jimmy Magro, and the Labour Party’s electoral office manager, Louis Gatt.

Nikita Zammit Alamango (in her mid 20s) and so competent, she had to do her English ‘A’ level three times to pass.
Could she not plagiarise an essay during the exam?
Maybe she knows how to make coffee and order the right biscuits for the board meetings.
She sure eats enough of them to know which ones are best…
One has to hand it to them, they are sure rewarding their own – but arrogance was the prerogative of only the PN government.
No more hoohah about appointing so-called blue-eyed boys and girls.
Serious case of two weights and two measures.
If memory isn’t playing tricks on me, this subject was brought up some time ago on this blog. Didn’t she use her ghastly English to plagiarise an article from The Financial Times, presenting it as her own blog-post on timesofmalta.com, following which she was fired by that newspaper?
Two months in power and the only work done so far is limited to resignations and appointments, and having to admit that the 10-year price-fix on gas is and was in fact not doable.
The only promise kept so far is of course is giving Franco Tabone what was agreed to back in 2012.
I haven’t heard a word as yet from the Minister who is in charge of the implementation of the program – err – I mean the rowt mepp. And that’s the Deputy Prime Minister. Where is he gone?
How does one expect to maintain a company’s ratings with these appointments?
Doesn’t Kevin Decesare stick out like a sore thumb, or am I missing something?
[Daphne – You’re missing something.]
Long-term Labour family, Labour counting agent this time round.
If I am not mistaken his late father had been a Labour candidate.
Yesterday, snaky Varist had to eat, or rather gobble down, a very different kind of iced bun.
I simply loved watching him and Alfred Grixti eating humble pie infront of the cameras.
In their urge to appoint new chairmen and board members, they forget protocol and the decency to infom the outgoing chairmen that they will no longer occupy the post.
Brava Sandra Sladden. She got a full apology. Varist and Grixti looked so embarassed.
@Qeghdin Sew-You’re missing a lot.
With regards to Kevin Decesare, do you remember all the Malta Taghna Ilkoll adverts in the cinemas before the election? Were those costs part of the €1.5m or are they going to be paid as follows :

Kevin is exactly where he belongs – nowhere and probably feeling really happy with his consolation prize. Wish he would stay with his fellow PL friends full time; we’re all fed up of him and his common ways.
These appointments are not just rewards for services rendered but have a more sinister significance.
Diehard Mintoffians are being embedded in all positions of power and their role is to further the aims of josephmuscat.com. We’re witnessing the setting up of an oppressive regime, with Labour apparatchiks controlling every aspect of our lives.
The level of debate at the board meeting must be riveting.
Boiler Number 7 seems happy about the new board, so far.
On the ETC board: Marie-Elise Agius, cousin to PS Owen Bonnici, and Alexandra Gatt nee Ghirxi, niece of ex L-Orizzont editor Alfred Ghirxi, who is now employed with PS Franco Mercieca.
Prof.Joe Ellul Vincenti seems to get his bread buttered on both sides.
He used to be at every PN mass meeting and when he smelt a PL victory switched sides and appeared in the PL igloo.
Did not take him long to be rewarded. Is it a normal thing that when one turns 80 years old one loses one’s dignity?
Professor?
No, not professor. This just goes to prove that one should not believe at face value whatever journalists write. Most journalists should be taken with a pinch of salt, others need a handful.
I pity Joe and his family. Can they possibly agree with what is happening? I sincerely hope that they can sleep soundly at night.
All one big happy Labour family – Malta is theirs to milk.
Although when it comes to politics in Malta it is sometimes quite hard to imagine anyone ever doing anything for the right reasons, I can assure you that my grandfather’s motivations are far from political.
Perit Joe Ellul Vincenti (not Profs.) has always had Malta’s interests in mind in whatever he has done throughout his life. Something I am sure anyone who knows him well will confirm.
His knowledge and experience will be vital to Enemalta. When one turns 80, I’m sure one normally loses a lot of things. His dignity, I’m sure he hasn’t lost. I hope that when I’m 80 I wake up with the same passion and energy that he wakes up with everyday.
As for his family, we’re all very proud of him.
