And now Buttigieg has transformed the CEO&#039;s office into a mini Kazin Laburista, with people being appointed solely on the basis of their allegiance to &quot;Malta taghna lkoll&quot;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Daphne, it may be wise that someone starts a campaign for a full-blown and independent inquiry whether there were partisan considerations in delaying the processing of certain applications before 8 March 2013.

The media whipped up moral panic following the approval of certain projects, but believe me, there are much more instances where applicants despaired in silence because their applications seemed to to have hit a brick wall.  

Was there a plot to push certain applicants into voting Labour? 

Where there applications, handled by case officers who benefited from the change in Government, that miraculously started moving after last March? 

Is it true that there were applicants who were told that their application can be processed only after the election?

Is it true that there are MEPA front desk people who prior to last March were helpless and always complained to customers that MEPA is so slow but now these same people (known for their strong and open political leanings) go more than the extra mile to help?

Are there applications that were a non-starter before March but now they are ok?

etc.

Only a full-blown investigation may answer.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let&#039;s call things by their name. This, is a scandal.

NGO&#039;s to refuse acknowledging this individual. And I have no idea how Vince Cassar can bear it, he&#039;s surrounded. 

As for the chamber, I give up. It&#039;s an insult to all architects who persist on quality and cherish designing to constraints.

I can imagine the morale in Floriana, reduced to taking instructions from a crooked manipulator. Last time I heard anything, the ones at the environmental unit were beside themselves. Mostly AD. 

MEPA in his hands, will cause the loss of millions in funding for research, restoration and infrastructure. If I were an EU bureacrat, wouldn&#039;t trust any application.  

The change promised goes beyond anything we imagined. One thing Muscat has been consistent, never particularly concerned with EU funds.]]></description>

Perhaps Martin Scicluna can write to The Times and ask for Mr. Johann Buttigieg to be called in front of some Parliamentary Committee?

Or maybe he can just join this blog and ask for Mr. Buttigieg&#039;s removal from CEO of MEPA?]]></description>
