So who exactly was Jesmond Mugliett working for?
“Hello, Joseph? You’re going to have to find me another contract now that McGill’s is pulling out.”
McGill’s, the Scottish bus operators, must have thought that by engaging government lackey Jesmond Mugliett as a consultant – a sort of interpreter between their European culture and the Maltese government’s North African/Gulf States approach – they had done a good thing.
But who exactly was he working for? After all, the government has engaged him too – as a consultant to the state’s waste management operation.
Mugliett must have had a really hard time working out on which side his bread was buttered. But he could have always asked his wife, the cook Karen Mugliett, who has also been engaged by the government, as a member of the Malta Council of Science and Technology. You know how they call cooking ‘domestic science’ in some schools where she teaches.
The devil is in the detail, and these are the details which render Malta non-European in the eyes of observers, including many home-grown ones.

Exactly my thoughts. What role did this ex PN minister responsible for this sector play in this latest public transport saga? Would love a plausible reply.
When McGill’s met their potential Maltese partners, mainly the leading bus owners, they suggested that 50% of the profits would go to McGill’s, 40% to the Maltese partners and the other 10% to the special Maltese adviser.
The Maltese counterparts who were present for this meeting understood that the 10% would go to Mr Mugliett.
This is the question- After the bad handling of that bridge project why was this Mugliett allowed to stand on the PN ticket?
The special concrete used by the Taiwanese engineers in the late sixties only needed to be repaired in places, so much so, that under Mugliett’s watch they had to get special cutting apparatus at great extra cost over tender.
After all, Regional Road was and still is two lanes up/two lanes down. In fact this bridge never needed to be rebuilt at such great cost, obviously going over tendered amount. Snouts at the trough?
Because the PN is still made up largely of twunts.
People degreed in Domestic Science bla bla and bla are also called doctors nowadays.
Anyone wants to bet we will be getting the ‘old’ drivers back in the ‘new’public transport system ?
