The rules apply to a cancer centre but not to a power station

The Malta Independent reports:
The spokesperson said that the government will make every effort to ensure that the oncology centre is completed within the stipulated timeframe, which is early 2014.
“This is however dependent upon the process of public procurement that is governed by the public procurement regulations,” the spokesperson cautioned.
Looks like the power station is going to be ready before the oncology centre because unlike the oncology centre, the rules of public procurement don’t apply.

Selective ‘fast tracking’, perhaps?

The truth about the power station is that we do not need it!
Above all how many maltese families will the new power station, owned by the private sector, feed? I bet not more than a score. On the other hand they will close, prematurely the older power station at Delimara where tens of people earn their bread. Mr Mizzi confirmed this during his speech early this week after all….for those who understand I mean.
il-logika ta’ kif jahseb mohh laburista jwassalni nanticipa l-argument li se jipprezentalna fil-futur qrib il-Gvern permezz tal-makkinarju propagandistiku tieghu…. wisq probabbli se nisimghu l-argument “bil-power station gdida tal-gass se nipprevjenu l-kancer …. li hu aktar importanti milli nikkurawh” …. prevention is better than cure ….. lol …. nistennew u naraw
“The rules apply to a cancer centre but not to a power station”
Please re-write:
“The rules apply to a cancer centre but not to a cancer factory”
Frankly speaking I cannot see why not having VAT included is an issue.
VAT is chargeable by all so there is no competitive advantage if they were all excluded of VAT, and surely adding a VAT rate to a quote only needs a calculator.
It is very clear to me that PL have promised this contract to someone else who was not admissible before, or is going to use the funds for some other project
So much for the caring of cancer patients after all that fuss on the power station.
Or is Muscat thinking in terms of votes again for the next election and whether he will get payback for his projects
What private company is going to spend millions to build, own and operate their gas and power plants without passing that cost on to Enemalta?
Or is it to get around EU regulations, making the private company be seen as paying for the cost of the tanks and plant?
