					<description><![CDATA[So if there is interest in the scheme - and the government has said there has been already - what has happened to the setting up of a public fund which will administer the &quot;elf biljun&quot; of euros which the government said the Citizenship 4 Cash would bring in?

Has anyone - or Parliament maybe - seen the statutory document that will regulate such fund?

Has a board been appointed to run such fund?

It&#039;s &quot;elf biljun&quot; euros we are talking about here.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Taghna ilkoll update:

I do not know which Minister or Parlamentary secretary is using GM 22 but he needs learn some manners.  Today I was at the Gharghur Milk Festival and noticed the minister&#039;s car. I was temporarily distracted when the minster entered the car so I did not see who he was.  

He went in at the front leaving his wife at the back and the driver ended up belting the child (in a car seat) himself.  But that is just the tip of the iceberg.  

The car was in a street which was blocked off to traffic with the standard metal barriers.  The driver moved the two barriers to get the ministerial car out of the street.  

Once he drove out, I assumed he was going to stop the car and replace the barriers.  To my shock and surprise he just sped off.  

Some idiot would say &#039;uwijja it&#039;s not a problem&#039;.  But with the barriers removed any car could just drive into a zone which was purposely closed off for pedestrians.  

Apart from the inconvenience and the havoc which could ensue there is a degree of safety as well.  A real case of I&#039;m all right, Jack hamallagni.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I flew from Luton to Budapest with my brother who is a Maltese passport holder. I hold a British passport.  

At immigration control in Budapest I was waved through immigration just by showing the cover of my British passport. When my brother presented his Maltese passport, the Hungarian immigration officer spent a long time examining it, and the passengers behind him were not impressed for holding them up.  He was very embarrassed.

					<description><![CDATA[http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20140406/local/24m-bus-deal-just-hours-before-tendering-deadline.513755

How this administration&#039;s decisions and actions have to be uncovered via rumour or pointed questions by the press has become the norm. 

May we know who this company is, what models of &#039;brand new&#039; buses these are, and what happens to the current tender?

Given the shambles the fleet is in, a yellow BUS563 belching fumes as it crawled up towards Birgu last one I came across, can we also please restart the SMS thingy? 

Isn&#039;t this place wonderful? There they were, promising a brighter, cleaner future and all we got was the return of the fabled yellow bus, and not even the vintage ones to boot. 

Surely this deal has to be justified, explained and some semblance of strategy outlined. 

They will destroy any possibility of picking up the pieces when they&#039;re gone. Their irresponsibility knows no bounds.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[These concerns are not going to go away until the Maltese government starts managing the program itself, and not handing it over to a private company who will make money only if it helps its clients pass due diligence. 

For now this Maltese program is the most tainted, and most concerning economic citizenship program in the world. The government will have to listen, at some point, to the voice of reason, as soon enough, the newspaper will not speak about the possibility of security problems, but will speak about the problems that happened already because of this program.]]></description>
