Mr. President, the person who leaked the minutes of the Community Chest Fund meeting might have to shoulder his/her responsibility but in the bigger picture you have to shoulder yours….

In reply to Catsrbest. If it weren't for you we would have remained in the dark on this one. Well done.

The President should have come clean and admitted that he made a bad ‘faux pas.’ Making excuses, and on a popular TV show to boot, demeaned him and his office even more. What next? A special Xarabank programme?

If only I could marry a Zerafa sister. My future would be secure.

In reply to P Shaw. Similarities? Hardly. Find me one Maltese brave enough to set himself on fire and start a revolution. Norman Lowell perhaps, if he weren't surrounded by complete morons.

Before the elections, hardly a day passed without us hearing about whistleblowers and how GonziPN was ‘evil’ because they hadn’t passed the Whistleblower Act and how josephmuscat.com will come to the rescue and guarantee protection to whistleblowers, etc., etc.

Well, now they’ve received a dose of whistleblowing and they don’t seem so happy about it.

So there you go! Someone in the Community Chest Fund has a conscience and understood all that is/was happening.

Now if the president is pissed off at someone leaking the minutes, he should be even more pissed off for trying to pass a story like that under the noses of a national charity.

Ultimately, considering all angles the one that ought to be ashamed is the president and no one else, not even Ms Zerafa.

It is actually third world.

I notice a few similarities in mentality with what happened in Tunisia during the last decades?

The president of Tunisia, Ben Ali, was married to Leila Ben Ali, a former hairdresser with little formal education. She has ten brothers and sisters. After her romantic relationship and subsequent marriage to then Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, she and her family rose to prominent positions in Tunisian business and became noted for their greed, power and ruthlessness. The first lady and her immediate family’s greed was one of the reasons for the Tunisian uprising.

She was so powerful that on their way out of Tunisia during the escape, Leila’s guards stopped at the central bank to steal monetary gold bars held as the national reserves. Reportedly, the governor tried to stop her, and Leila’s guards asked him to call the president who could not stop her looting of the central bank’s vault.

I think few are giving thought to idea that George Abela’s greatest error is not the granting of personal favours to those close to him, but the way he is debasing the Presidency when he embroils himself in these shenanigans.
