Call me crazy but is it possible that the reason why Muscat talks about Enemalta and electricity bills the way he does is because that was the pitch given to him by this guy?
It sounds like Muscat is repeating to the people what Shiv Nair says without checking it first. Nair may have even appealed to Muscat’s desire to paint the PN in a bad light in his pitch to Muscat.
But Nair only works for the Chinese. He’s not even Maltese. So the pitch was designed to deceive Muscat, who probably doesn’t even know he’s deceiving the people by repeating what he was probably told.
Why do you think that is a crazy idea?
It depends how Nair is readied and who the explorer scouts are in his network when it comes to China / Malta, for the moment.
There are those, Maltese, who have been in China for close on 20 years already.
And there are those who know how to set just such a strategy, with links to past, present and future.
And there are those who know the tricks of reporting.
Then there are those who knew how to round up a crowd magnificently.
They, and their interests, may just happen to be linked.
“Those” may be but a man at a time.
Can’t wait to see his LinkedIn profile showing:
1. Special Advisor, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Vanuatu.
2. Advisor to Minister – Ministry of Power, Energy and Mining, Govt. of S. Sudan.
3. Advisor to Deputy Prime Minister – Office of the Deputy Prime Minister – Transitional Federal Government of Somalia.
4. Advisor to the President, Global energy assets aquisition – Poly Technologies Inc. Beijing, PRC
5. Advisor to First deputy Prime Minister – Cab Min Turmenistan
6. Consultant to the Prime Minister of the Republic of Malta.
We are in nice company.

Well I’m a 2nd level connection to him on linked in; through two connections; the brother of a Labour MP and a switcher accountant. But not through any of my PN leaning friends, colleagues or business associates. Surprise, surprise.
Who knows how much this consultant to the Prime Minister is being paid?
Malta Enterprise pays him 6,000 Euros per year as a consultant.
How about a direct Parliamentary Question to the Prime Minister? Here:
Can the Prime Minister confirm if Mr. Shiv Nair, his consultant according to Qatar Petroleum, has a written contract, in his own name or in the name of any one of his companies, with the government of Malta for consultancy services?
Can the Prime Minister confirm if Mr. Nair’s consultancy services were obtained with a direct order or through a tender?
Can the Prime Minister provide details of the nature of consultancy services that Mr. Nair is engaged to provide to the government of Malta and specifically to the Prime Minister?
Can the Prime Minister provide details of the fees and other benefits, including commissions, payable to Mr. Nair by the government of Malta in connection with the consultancy services?
How much fees and benefits have been paid to Mr. Nair since 9 March 2013? How much are in arrears?
Perhaps the PM can reply to this comment below…
What is Nair’s relationship to Patricia Hills, London Executive Assistant to Edward de Bono, who is registered at the same address at 135b, Holland Park Avenue, whilst her husband Richard Hills is listed with “Shiv Shankor” at 135a, Holland Park Avenue?
Is it normal that there are so many versions to his name?
How many facets are there to Pradeep Prenyan Shivshankar Nair? and to his deals?
What happens to those who get in the way?
Is the Malta connection pure coincidence?

Considering the fuss Muscat made about the lack of Enemalta’s oil procurement minutes, I’m sure he leads by example and has detailed formal minutes of discussions with Shiv Nair. Or maybe not?
This gentleman has been taken on by the new Labour government to cobble together an energy strategy (cheap tariffs and all that business); clearly, as we all knew anyway, they didn’t have one at all.
Mr Nair accompanied the Energy Minister to Qatar to try to negotiate the price of gas (I have heard this on authority).
The Labour government is using a mercenary who fronts the acquisition interests of Japan and China, and loosely calls himself a consultant to Malta Enterprise, adviser to the Prime Minister of Malta, along with being an “adviser” to around six other governments (at the very least) around the world.
His systems and processes are shrouded in secrecy, including the hostile bid against the Rothschild/Hayward team.
Using consultants is normal for all governments, but there is a clear-cut and highly visible conflict of interest here. Who does Nair represent? Vanuatu, China, Malta, Japan, pray, who?
