And that is the teason why foreign investment is drying up. No serious investor would consider setting up base here following the string of political shenanigans, debacles and budget-book cooking all with the blessing of the hoodwinker in chief.

					<description><![CDATA[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiv_Shankaran_Nair

In 2013 his role as Energy Advisor to the Maltese government came under scrutiny from the opposition. As an advisor to the government of Malta,[11] he was responsible for fast tracking the gas purchase agreement between Malta and Qatar and also initiating major Chinese investments into Malta.[13] The Maltese opposition accused Nair of having a close relationship with Prime Minister, Joseph Muscat and were also critical of the fact that he didn’t declare his World Bank exclusion.

The accusation led to Nair receiving press coverage from opposition led media in Malta, including nationalist MP Simon Busuttil, who called for Nair’s dismissal.[14] The Maltese Prime Minister stated in the media that he refused to be pressurised into terminating Nair’s contract.[15]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[That PR spiel has appeared in several places in different formats: http://creative-strategies.be/shiv-nair-catalyst-progress/

Shiv Nair is being repackaged as the saviour who (ahem) pours oil on politically and economically troubled waters.

Funny how his involvement with Muscat has had the opposite effect. Malta is no longer independent. It is a colony of China, and its economy and polity are a shell of what they were just over a year ago.]]></description>
