Is the same person who spoke during Labour’s mass meeting in Rabat on 20 January 2013? He should be reminded of his statement then.

Is this appointment an iced bun for his criticism of PN and his assurance that during a Labour’s government Malta will be “taghna lkoll”?

In reply to Josanne Rickman. If you would like to know, Josanne, just retweet Freeport's CEO Aaron Farrugia's tweet about the subject. Go on, don't be shy, it's just a click of a few buttons away.

All this should teach a thing or two to the Nationalist Party. This is the way to take care of your people. Hope they will take heed and learn.

I do not think the criticism of the PN for having Abela as MEPA’s legal advisor is fair.

The difference between then and now is that then MEPA chose Dr. Abela’s firm following a call and on the basis of pre-determined criteria, the main one being price.

[Daphne – It didn’t actually happen that way, I’m afraid, though it is nice to think so.]

Another difference between then and now is that then there was no political interference in MEPA’s decisions on employment and contracts. MEPA was allowed a good level of discretion and independence in the way it operates.

Now it is very different. Now only Taghna Lkoll people are given contracts and more importantly WITHOUT DUE PROCESS. Another difference is that now political interference in MEPA has become the norm.

So, no more MEPA work or is this guy God’s gift to the legal profession and can do all at the same time?

In reply to michael seychell.

Yes, but times change and with that, people learn to adapt and change as well.

He’s now part of the NGHIDU IVA GHAL JOSEPH MOVEMENT. Jojo’s mojo shall we say.

But he has assured us some days ago that he remains forever loyal to the PN. That’s all right then.

In reply to Josanne Rickman. What about your contract, Josanne?
