There should be full transparency as to what is going on here.

The casino licence is a controller public asset which is usually privatised through an ‘auction’ in a tender process.

For full transparency, the government must assure us that:

1. The Authority’s actions were justified in the circumstances, and there was no abuse of power.

2.There was no political interference with the acts of the Authority in this case.

3. The market value of the licence is paid by any new investor to the Casino di Venezia or to government.

I think Anglu Xuereb or ta’ Tumas would be in for it.

There should be a public call and let the best bidder buy the licence and employ the workers.

You’re right, that’s another 24.

Read my lips: these ‘opportunities’ always come up, whoever is at the helm. So it’s not because this or that party is in government.

Instead you should demand that the government do whatever is necessary to save these jobs, not just moan and complain about what the other government left. More bad news and people will start to panic.

And I forgot to mention the De la Rue (Passports) ‘opportunity’ maybe that’s another 45.

We have competition:

It has been stressed too strongly for my liking that “…. the Lotteries and Gaming Authority followed the law when it suspended the licence of Casino di Venezia for failing to adhere to stipulated conditions due to years of accumulated losses.”
