Interesting blurb by our energy consultant.

Konrad said Enemalta’s valuation will also include it’s ‘future potential’, the generated capital used to turn around the company’s fortunes.

SWAPS anyone?

It happened in Turin, Naples and a couple of minor regions who relied on ‘consultants’ who provided a way out of debt.

Problem is they just took it a few years down the line, ten to fifteen times the initial amounts.

This five year contract is telling, similarities uncanny.

A couple of weeks back he said something like not being involved in the negotiations due to any future conflict of interest.

Has he also been given an exemption by the PM?

[Daphne – Mangion is not a minister. He is not even an MP. He was unseated by his nephew, Silvio Schembri.]

Who is the Minister’s Super One hack responsible for this website?
