Ronnie Agius owned the Konica Photo Laboratory in Pieta. He was considered as one of the blue-eyed boys of the MLP during those ‘glorious days’.

Remember how a few weeks ago, Dr Godwin Debono was called as witness by the PAC, but was exonerated after only 13 minutes of questioning.

Dr Debono was Head of oil exploration when Joe Mizzi decided to drill a well in Gozo (Madonna taz-Zejt well) in 1998.

The method of funding broke away from the traditional public sharing contract that placed all risk on the foreign oil company. Instead the risk and cost was shifted on Malta, thanks to Joe Mizzi (that’s a real scandal in itself). The well ended up a bottomless pit that siphoned off 32 million euro of public funds!

No wonder Dr Debono was exonerated so quickly. They did not want him to reveal the truth about the Madonna taz-Zejt well scandal.

It is a tool for John Dalli first, and the Labour Party second.
