Quite a possibility.

I would argue that Muscat signed the same MoU twice in order to formalise it now his party are in govt.

They might even argue that they are being overcharged and demand a part refund.

If the highly-corrupt Chinese government is faced with an audit by one of these big four it would get an acute attack of angioneurotic oedema.

Proper audits are anathema to filthy governments like the one in China.

They are eminently allergic to them.

The PL is vainly attempting to change international political realities. Only for the cwiec.

The Chinese government was, is and will be for the foreseeable future, rotten, corrupt, undemocratic, murderous, lying, vile and obnoxious.

China doesn’t need to block my internet. It can now just turn off my computer.

In other words:

“The Chinese auditors are here to check Enemalta’s books to confirm that their business proposal of buying the BWSC plant is financially advantageous.”

We don’t know what the audit firm’s brief is or who they are.

Why does the minor shareholder get to choose the firm’s auditor?

It sound like Chinese executives are exploring opportunities for graft.

No. I said “four of the best”, not “the best four”.

Words have a precise meaning. I use them with precision.

Did you just redefine the big 4?

Did we get a new PM since Muscat?
