And Vella Bonnici will be offering discount vouchers for Maltese passports.

Hurry, hurry. The offer is only valid for three months after CHOGM.

The easiest course to get into and the laughing stock of the EU amongst graduates of Law.

Don’t worry, some lick-ass Nationalist will help us by accepting to be ‘honoured’ by Joseph Muscat.

What clowns.

It will be fun to watch this lone ranger drive the required organisational transformation that must accompany large IT programmes of this sort.

Especially when considering that the senior stakeholders and the end-user base comprises of moonlighting doctors (who are hell bent on thwarting the prospect of a central appointment reservation system / waiting list) and clerical staff (typical Maltese civil servant mentality, nofs ta’ nhari fis-sajf and all).

I also wonder how he plans to meet his SLAs (silly me expecting there to be any SLAs at all!) and to provide adequate support in a timely manner when things go pear-shaped.

I’m not saying that large contractors are immune to cock-ups by design. All too often they’re known to deliver poorly too, but at least they have the resources (and the financial collateral) to address show stoppers.

That title probably refers to Agrigento – “Girgenti” in Sicilian.

Where’s kitten-from-Malta when you need him?
