Shiv Nair was (is?) also in Nigeria.

Nigeria has secured substantial funding from China.

Erm, there is no such thing as incorrect cabling according to Chinese supplers, definitely not when you throw a hissy fit it’s cat5 and not cat5e.

The same for copper wire, how dare one ask for any written certificate.

Malta-based Shiv Nair is an intermediary of both companies.

So do Uganda and Zambia:

Last year, the Zambia government terminated a $210 million closed circuit television camera contract with China’s ZTE because of alleged corruption.

A government source said if the contract for traffic control had continued, Zambia could have lost $100 million through inflated billings.

In 2011, Uganda blocked a $106 million fiber-optic cable funded by a loan from the Import and Export Bank of China was stopped because of alleged inflated costs and the use of incorrect cabling.

Tanzania Transport Minister Harrison Mwakyembe in presenting budget estimates to parliament for the 2014/15 fiscal year said that the costs from the Chinese company were far out of line.

“We also discovered that so many other things were not included in the contractor’s plan, which made us realize that the contractor had no good intention,” he was quoted as saying.

The Guardian says ‘Libya’s government is considering calling for international forces to help re-establish security after deadly clashes closed Tripoli airport, severing air links with the outside world.

The country’s airport – closed due to the fighting between liberal and Islamist militias – came under renewed attack late on Monday when dozens of rockets were fired, killing a security guard and injuring six others, officials said’.

They had better publish that ‘Dizzjunarju skont tal-Lejber’ soon because I would dearly love to find out what ‘drammatika’ means these days. Of course I would then quickly leaf to check out ‘integrita’ just in case I find myself in front of some newcommer judge one of these days for being ‘negatif’ perhaps?

It’s unclear if the damsel is Chinese or Maltese. She did acquire Maltese citizenship some years ago. She is, or should be, representing Maltese interests. Indeed, the Government insists on comparing her role to an ambassador’s (even though we already have an ambassador to China. So what is he doing? It is customary, these days, for ambassadors to focus on investment as well as other things).

However, Mizzi herself seems to consider herself Chinese. Why else would she call the questions for information about her contract to be racist?
