How sad it is that people who are correct and ethical are forced to justify their actions and defend themselves whilst those in public and less visible positions of Government and colluding with it, who lie outrightly, whose actions are totally unethical and who are responsible for the downward slide already begun remain at large, far from transparent and as yet unaccountable.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So our Joseph affects concern about Dr Antonio Ghio&#039;s supposed conflict of interest while sitting on the Malta Communications Authority board of directors.  

On that basis, shouldn&#039;t he be equally concerned about Godfrey Vella, new MCA board member and now also Digital Champion for Malta?  Godfrey runs WINS Ltd, a company involved in the telecommunications business. Here&#039;s the website http://www.winssystems.com/default.aspx.  

Oh, and the company operates from the same address in St Venera as Tony Meilaq&#039;s mini-empire of commercial companies. Our Tony is now chairman of the Water Services Corporation, with the deputy chairman being his (erstwhile?) business partner Saviour Zammit. Godfrey Vella is in fact part of the mini-empire.  So is Saviour Baldacchino, board member at MITTS Ltd, the state ICT corporation.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I believe Dr Ghio&#039;s statement because it is a replica of the illegal &quot;compulsory retirement&quot; meted out to me in Mintoff&#039;s time.  Old customs die hard.

Initially a failed attempt was made to have me dismissed from the police force on trumped up charges based on palpable perjury by an acting Commissioner of Police.

When that failed I was &quot;compulsorily retired on grounds of public interest&quot;, illegally and twice in the space of a week.  Soon after the PSC regulations were amended to grant immunity from prosecution to witnesses before the PSC when testifying on behalf of government.

I had to wait for a change of government before I could receive justice.

I always maintained that today&#039;s LP is no improvement on the injustices of those days.  I am being proved absolutely right.]]></description>

Are you noticing how Minister for Energy is lying low with no pomp, trying not to rock the boat re the choice of the company who is going to build the new power station? 

Transparency, my foot. Obviously the bidder will be the Qatari / Chinese one and I don&#039;t need to explain further.]]></description>
