Labour cuts bureaucracy by creating an agency where none existed before – as a playpen for its ex secretary-general
Jimmy Magro
A member of my international worldwide network of spies has, in the course of his work, received an email from Jimmy Magro, the recipient of the government’s freshest iced bun.
Jimmy Magro preceded Jason Micallef as the Malta Labour Party’s secretary-general. Before and possibly after that he worked for a stone quarry somewhere around Mqabba, doing administration work.
This is Jimmy’s new email electronic signature:
Jimmy Magro
Executive Chairman
Major Projects Coordinating Agency
c/o Malta Enterprise
Gwardamangia Hill
Pieta MEC0001
Malta
Up until a few days ago, this agency did not exist at all. It was created for Jimmy.
Malta Enterprise projects have always been coordinated by Malta Enterprise staff. That’s what they’re there for.
So much for the 25% slash in bureaucracy.

Mr Magro undoubtedly has major talents and razor-sharp skills, just like the other Labour protegees, Jason V18 Micallef, and James I’ve-lost-my-pushchair Piscopo at Transport Malta.
These agencies (including Malta Enterprise) are useless and an utter waste of taxpayer’s money. A solid business needs no agency to flourish and a businessman will know his field better than a bunch of people with a degree in economics.
Let Eddy Privitera enlighten us on this one! Come on, Eddy!
25% slash in bureaucracy and 25% increase in salaries to friends of friends and party faithful. So much so for the fuss done about the Euro 500! The Times is still stuck with the ex-minister’s clock and over looks these “new” jobs created purposely to “thank” the Little Kascos.
Who is the Minister or PS for 25% slash in bureaucracy?
Bunch of losers that could never be anyone unless they APPOINT THEMSELVES!
But there will be a 25% slash in Malta Enterprise bureaucracy!
It’s called cutting here and pasting there, Madam.
Maybe he is a volunteer?
I have some ideas on how to cut bureaucracy.
Do I send them to the Commissioner for Bureaucracy, or do I send them to Jimmy Magro?
Good – we are following the example of Greece then. The governments there created a lot of similar agencies over the years.
When the foreign advisors working on the Greek crisis tried to streamline all these Greek government agencies and privatize the profitable ones, the external consultants found out that all of these were just political shells that did not produce anything but costed a lot of money to the Greek budget.
At this rate, the 2013 deficit for Malta is going to explode well beyong the predicted 3.8%. No wonder they transferred some revenue from 2012 to 2013.
The way I see it, is that the present government is running on the fuel put in the tank by the previous administration what will happen when this fuel runs out in a few months is anybody’s guess. Perhaps they will call on Simon Busuttil to give a hand in the Malta Tghana il koll gimmick.
