Were you absent on the day it was taught to never ask a question you don’t know the answer to Dr. Bonnici?

It could be that someone suggested to him to do so, or else he was paving the way to continue with this corrupt system with who ever is in government.

His family is known to support PN but earning good money drives you to have good relations with any party who may be in power.

Was his brother Raymond aware that this type of this professional corruption, or was this present given to PL for other reasons?

Franco Debono is quite able to investigate and make people aware why the PL got this present from Farrugia..

I think she (Ms Hansen) has a point — to the extent that corruption has been endemic in Malta since at least the post-war self-government administrations.

By and large, under the PN the corruption amounts to the wheeling and dealing that goes with major projects in a competitive environment. On the other hand, Labour governments control (or try to) the economy under the pretext of curtailing corruption.

But as we have learned through experience, corruption then becomes government-sponsored, cloaked under legalistic schemes and procedures.

The bottom-line issue is the nature, degree and extent of the corruption under the two regimes. One indicator is to look at the estates of the different Prime Ministers, their cabinet ministers, personal secretaries, etc after they lose power.

Consider Pawlu Boffa, Borg Olivier, Mintoff, Fenech Adami and Gonzi. (KMB’s and Alfred Sant’s terms in office were too transient.) Not to mention their ministers, both dead and alive. You draw your own conclusions.

As a journalist Ms Hansen must be aware of the above. Knowing which side of her bread she wants buttered, she might find it convenient to “stick to the issue in hand, … and not get sidetracked with partisan politics.”

BOYCOTT is the word.

Probably he must have tipped off the Lejber Party that this will be out in the open. Am sure this car changed ownership by now.

Saviour Balzan could always rope in his buddy John Dalli, who should know a thing or two about Daewoo given that he had a close brush with it in the 90s and was pilloried for it by the MLP.

Thanks to Dr Owen Bonnici we now can see all the sides of the jigsaw puzzle clearer.

Our ethics rule at our workplace is : “A bottle of whisky is a compliment/show of gratitude (accept), a case full of whisky bottles is corruption (do not accept)”.

The thing is that now the listing of “presents” will be censored by a commissioner of justice, a bird breeder, the legal advisor and a presidential candidate.
