Not just jobs for the boys, but for their sons and daughters too
Iosif Galea, first from left, whose father is Frans Galea, chief of staff to Michael Farrugia (PS responsible for the MEPA) has been put on the payroll at the MEPA. He is seen here with his ‘snus scandal’ partners John Dalli and Silvio Zammit.
Earlier today I reported that Iosif Galea, the third man in the John Dalli snus scandal and the one who dragged lawyer Gayle Kimberley, with whom he was then having an affair, into the mess, has been put on the payroll at the Malta Environment and Planning Authority (MEPA).
I have since discovered that he is the son of Frans Galea, who worked for years with the Cooperatives Board but who campaigned strongly for Michael Farrugia. When Farrugia was made parliamentary secretary responsible for the planning authority (the minister to whom he answers is the prime minister, and he is based at the Auberge de Castille), Frans Galea was made his ‘chief of staff’ and righthand man.
And now the son of the chief of staff to the MEPA parliamentary secretary has been given a job at…the MEPA.
That arlogg tal-lira recedes further into the realm of the absolutely ridiculous.

Who told Silvio Zammit that he looks good in jeans?
The Tana Lkoll government is running like a family business.
Very soon, rather than “speak to the Customer Care Department,” we will get explanations like: “Oh, let me pass you my sister, or if you wish, I can put you through to my niece. If they cannot help, you should try with the boyfriend of my cousin.”

This is what is called investigative journalism.
Where are the newspapers, or are they still looking for a clock to rant about?
Well done, Daphne – name and shame. At the end of the day, we are paying their salaries with our taxes.
I am sure his role as an enforcement officer will suit him.
What is that Maltese saying about the ‘tibna’ in the other’s eye and the ‘travu’ in one’s own?
I think people absolutely misunderstood the criticism leveled at the PN by the Labour Party. What they really meant when they targeted issues like the clock for example was that they could do so much better.
People thought that the Labour Party intended to govern in a cleaner way. They must have meant that they could take nepotism and corruption to new lows.
That can still be defined as doing better, just not in the way people were led to believe.
No wonder some want the George Cross off the Maltese flag. A medal for gullibility would be more appropriate than one for gallantry these days.
It is ill-advised to appoint anyone involved in the snus scandal until all is cleared. Particularly where MEPA is involved.
