The deputy prime minister has gone AWOL. Can any of you remember the last time you saw him in the press, in public or in parliament?

Never seen much since being paraded around for the voting public almost two years ago, the deputy prime minister and Minister for Europe has now disappeared altogether.

He has not featured in official-release photographs of the government’s meetings with the Libyan prime-minister-in-exile and his Tobruk cabinet.

He has not featured in any EU-related stories in the press. The press don’t even ring him for comments. He’s the deputy PM and the Minister for Europe, but he’s not in our little black books of numbers – we’ve forgotten he exists.

He wasn’t even in parliament this week for the Big Debate That Wasn’t about the power station, and when the Libyan government arrived and the PM was otherwise engaged and the foreign minister was overseas, Kugin Ryan Il-Friza gave the press conference to announce their arrival. Not the deputy PM, whose role it is to deputise for the PM.

If you sight him, please email [email protected] to collect your 58 cents reward.

    Well he was in change of the implementation of their manifesto which also went AWOL.

    If someone can provide a copy of Joseph’s roadmap, I volunteer to check every corner, alley, sideroads and dangerous edges on the road.

    I need another volunteer to check the manholes.

  3. Manuel says:

    On another note. Madame President is taking us back to when she was president of the MLP. The MLP, back then, produced hundreds of discs with the National anthem on one side and the party’s hymn on the other.

    • Pippa says:

      Waste of money. As far as I know, all Maltese children know the National Anthem very well. They sing it every day at the school assembly. If they know anything that’s the one item that they know really well.

      The only possibility of any Maltese children not knowing it, that comes to mind is the case of Maltese children attending a foreign school.

      Perhaps Madame President could donate a disc with the anthem to Mintoff’s daughters.

    • COD says:

      What’s her obsession with the Maltese national anthem? We were literally forced to stand up and sing the anthem when she walked in for the Voices concert in her honour. And then she left halfway through the show.

  4. H.P. Baxxter says:

    We clearly need some bait. And I think I know the kind.

  5. David J Camilleri says:

    Maybe they’ve sent him out to hunt for a new road map. Wasn’t he supposed to use it as a yardstick (or is it Pinocchio’s nose?) to keep the LP government stay on track and deliver their electoral promises?

  6. RF says:

    I would be embarrassed to be seen with his team mates, a bunch of glaringly incompetent idiots, led by an obnoxious liar.

  7. gaetano pace says:

    It is going to be the toughest 58c earned with lots of toil and sweat. No GPS is going find him on his road map nor any telescope is going to catch sight of him. He seems to have gone into the dreaded oblivion.

  8. Gre says:

    Il-motto ta’ Muscat: ‘usa e getta’

  9. bob-a-job says:

    The second photo suggests he may have been penetrated by Cyrus Engerer and subsequently deflated.

  10. trabokk says:

    I think it would be more adequate if you spread the 58c reward to discover the whereabouts of about 75% of the cabinet, as it seems that there are only a couple of them to be seen or heard of.

    This is a Godsend as we have all this mess with the 25%, ahseb u ara with all of them trying to put their positive energy into the mix.

    • Manuel says:

      So true, Trabokk. You can actually count the cabinet members who ‘appear’ here and there. The rest are like phantoms of a very tragic play.

  11. Nana says:

    Rumours are that his job is being done by Ian Borg. Louis Grech only collects his salary.

  12. Thomas Agius Ferrante says:

    This link should help…..

  13. Freedom5 says:

    Louis Grech is staying out of the limelight. Whether he is performing or otherwise, not too sure. But I’d rather have him (and I am no switcher ) than quite a few useless waste of space on both sides of the house. And no, I did not vote for him in the EP elections – my vote went to Simon Busuttil in that election.

  14. Peppa Pig says:

    His constituents in the first district are wondering what’s happened to their representative in parliament. The first district is little more then one huge, over- populated, traffic-congested, filthy run-down dilapidated slum whose local councils are in a permanent state of hibernation.

  15. ken il malti says:

    Maybe he passed away and he will be replaced by a look-a-like when the plastic surgery scars heal on the impostor.

    If the powers that be managed to fool the public with a fake Paul McCartney for 48 years then this will be a cinch.

    • bob-a-job says:

      Quite right.

      We’ve had a fake government for almost two years now and the majority haven’t even noticed yet.

      • curious says:

        Not even a plastic surgeon could create such a fake government. But Joseph Muscat is succeeding.

        One day everything will come crushing down on us in one fell swoop.

  16. Hawk says:

    Manuel Cuschieri was pleased about the €0.58c. While on the Labour Party’s radio station he was explaining to all those gullible listeners who from time to time plead with him to continue “teaching” them, that for the first time in so many years there was no rise in the cost of living last year.

    Wish I could see all their happy faces after his explanation to the increase of 58c a week.

  17. Maltri says:

    It is easy to get lost or worse stuck in a giant skip.

    Maybe a ‘blokka silg’ or a container ‘laham tal-Friza’ collapsed and blocked the entrance to his hole.

    Hope the government’s chief of communications provided enough cookies for all until we can dig them out.

  18. Manuel says:

    Just like the traffic congestion on our roads, Grech’s absence is yet another mistaken perception.

  19. Wilson says:

    In a country loaded with road works, Grech’s road map surely has some tarmac wars.

  20. pablo says:

    Have you seen the new hype on night tariffs? Have you noticed the new hype on the EU funded gas pipeline idea?

    In 2013, Muscat laughed at the pipeline, and he laughed at the night tariffs just like he laughed at joining the EU in 2004. And now, he must be laughing at how stupid and gullible people are.
