					<description><![CDATA[Are Henley and Partners qualified to carry out the due diligence ?  Since they have not yet formally denied the accusations by Profs Alfred Scicluna they are thus admitting their fault for the chaotic and humiliating situation at present.

If they could not foresee the outcome of their proposal I cannot imagine how they can decide who will be fit to acquire a Maltese passport.

The education minister has accepted the chairman of the Students Maintenance Grants Board&#039;s resignation, the government has said.

Tonio Briguglio had to resign over a notice he allegedly issued with regards students stipends and the uproar it caused.  Meanwhile Henley and Partners will still cash millions from this scheme that has causes an uproar worldwide.]]></description>

Kempadoo, who is developing a new resort called Kittitian Hill, worries that public-private partnerships such as Henley&#039;s compromise the island&#039;s sovereignty.

&quot;They&#039;re pirates of the Caribbean,&quot; he says of companies handling the citizenship business. &quot;The situation of the country predicates that they are open to citizenship by investment. St. Kitts&#039; debt is 180 percent of its GDP. How can the government say no?&quot;

Does this not echo the debt situation of Malta? Hence the act of selling it&#039;s soul?]]></description>

This is what we define as a Maltese &quot;professional&quot;. 

He deserves &quot;Gieh ir-Repubblika&quot; for swearing.

Many Maltese still think that if we want to talk &quot;between us&quot; we should speak Maltese as a sort of secret language. If it&#039;s not the commentator or reporter, it&#039;s the people who comment on the comments boards who will show what we really are.

And you can&#039;t really hide swearing because the tone and words like &#039;Madonna&#039; make it obvious.

Nowadays one cannot hide, Big Brother is everywhere: smart phones, the Web, innumerable TV stations, radio stations and whatnot. All this information is available, at the touch of a button.

It is illogical to blame the people who show the world the real perpetrators who dominate the news, be it swearing in Maltese or a law enabling  the sale of passports to unknown people for a pittance.

Big Brother is the one next to you and is watching and reporting everyone, from Joe Citizen to Joe the Prime Minister.]]></description>
