[Daphne – Don’t be ridiculous, Mary. The only reason that Byron Camilleri got that job is because he is a Labour elve. And you know it. If that were not the case, there would have been open recruitment. But worse than that, the job was created for him because Malta Freeport Corporation did not have a CEO, or a CEO vacancy. No, 25-year-old new graduates do not become CEOs. Whatever hole you have inhabited that has protected you from this knowledge, you should think about leaving.]

Public appointments are not about what the appointee deserves. They are all about – or should be – what the public deserves.

Well, he did get the very, very best. It’s the Freeport, Refugee Appeals Board and Fgura who got the garbage.

‘irrespective of one’s field of study’: can’t you tell that law degrees are given out like hot cakes in Malta? It is just rote-learning and students don’t even attend classes. Maltese lawyers are also the butt of jokes in Europe because unlike their European peers, after just five years of mediocrity they are awarded a doctorate, a title that would require a decade or more of studies to achieve in other countries. Bottom line is, I wouldn’t be too impressed by his choice of degree as though this endowed him with some kimd of unique credibility.

U li mexa kif mexa qabel l-elezzjoni biex jakkwista postu bhala wiehed mill-izghar prim ministri ta’ Malta avolja ghadu immatur u ma jafx kif imexxi pajjiz?

Meta ser jindunaw meta jkollna l-akbar numru ta’ nies qieghda?
