“She has extensive experience in structuring sovereign to sovereign credit transactions ”

Is that what Konrad Mizzi refers to as a “government to government” deal?

It is very much in the public interest for the government to disclose the nature of its dealings with this man. Clearly, it is not in the government’s interest to disclose those details, nor in Nair’s.

Must be rule 20004040404 from the book on shady tactics. Copies are no longer available from the public library although there were as many copies as there are Ministers and their newly appointed staff until recently.

All are now shown in the peculiar category of ‘indefinite loan’. Of course the extra shelf space has now been take up by all the books on good governance, diplomacy, ethics and morality as these are no longer being referred to.

This is not because these latter qualities have been assimilated and become ingrained in the modus operandi but because we have seen a new dawn and new definitions as one would expect from a road map to hell.

I never imagined ignorance could bring a country down BUT if it is extensive enough, coupled with democracy, it can.

I remember the stock parliamentary answer of Mintoff’s day, “Mhux fl-interess tal-poplu”. It appears today’s generation’s version is “Ma nafx” or “Heqq, hadd ma qalli…”.
