Yes, and to finance it the cost of road licences have shot up.

The PN should talk more about this.

Their names were on the list of the Labour Party-organised case against the government.

Your question makes a lot of sense, but, it may have been under a long lease agreement to one client.

I meant inordinate love of money, of course.

TAL-MISTHIJA!

No wonder more citizens are evading taxes of all kinds.

They have a right to do this with all this criminal corruption going on!

Did the prime minister award himself a direct order for the leasing of a car to the prime minister?

Is Muscat licensed to lease cars?

Is payment effected by the Prime Minister’s vote, and does he receive a cheque every month?

Is this income taxable, and has Muscat declared this income in his return for 2013? Or is the money paid to a company?
