I do not think that crude oil washing falls within the remit of Wasteserv ltd. Such expertise might be useful for marine pollution unit.

John Darmanin is a chemist and an expert on crude oil washing and that sort of thing. So he does know something about waste management.

The only person who has some legitimacy in the matter is Dr Peter Gatt, a geologist who had worked with the Waste Unit of the Environment DG at the European Commission (where waste legislation is drawn up) in Brussels and specialised in engineered landfill design in the USA (Cornell University- quite prestigious).

As for John Darmanin, he is connected to servicing oil companies not waste management. Perhaps he may have some connection to Peter Gatt because he is also very much into oil exploration.

I wonder what Dr Gatt and Mr Darmanin have to say about Joe Mizzi and his bid to be oil king of Malta (i.e., his ‘nitla u intellghu (iz-zejt)’ attitude).

Is this Michelle borg the same one who works at the MEPA?

It will all come out in the wash.

So, at his age, Lorry Sant’s ex-personal secretary (Tony/Anthony Borg) now works at the OPM, and his wife Rose is seen buzzing around the Prime Minister’s wife, who is also employed at the OPM.

And their son David (yes, he had a computer shop in Fgura) is appointed chairman of WasteServe!

The Borgs lived in a spacious, one-storey corner house, built on a government-subsidised plot in the late 70s-80s, in a new area in Paola/Tarxien. During the past 25 years of PN government, their house was demolished to make way for a block of modern apartments.

These appointments, together with those preceding and following them, are a perfect example of Labour’s new way of doing politics. Indeed Malta belongs to all of them.
