Konrad Mizzi’s self-imposed deadline falls on Friday

The Energy Minister, when admitting earlier this month that his costed and concrete power station road map had led him straight into a brick wall, gave himself until the end of November to come up with what he called “a new milestone schedule to which you can hold me”.
Given that the end of the month in business terms means the last working day and not Sunday, his deadline falls on Friday. So what is he doing about it exactly, and can we expect a major press conference?
I’m guessing that new milestone schedule isn’t going too well, given that he’s got five soldiers protecting his back (in white T-shirts) and another one in front clearing the way.

He’s still checking whether it has been ‘costed’
And I recognise a few police officers dressed in a purple top around him too.
He’ll announce a new health and energy initiative – free Red Bull for everyone.
It will be ready in the year 2525 woah woah.
He must have meant millstones not milestones, the ones hanging around the neck of the Labour Party such as Lucky Luciano, Casino Cardona, The Toad, Pada Dalli, just to mention a few.
Gurnata fenomenali.
Well, the milestone might transpire into a millstone.
He is in a bit of a fix. Any revelation now will blow the budget away for good and the massive advertising campaign will be just money down the drain. A win win situation for the cash strapped PN media.
Konrad Mizzi’s (SECOND) self-imposed deadline falls on Friday
Well it seems he is about to miss the deadline for the deadline
A quick study into who the minions around him are will tell you they know Jack Shit about power generation.
Don’t worry, a plan will be announced, it will not be worth the paper it’s written on, but he will give us something before the deadline.
This is Big Bang week. The budget, the Manuel Mallia story and Konrad Mizzi’s milestone schedule.
Anyone care to bet that there will be fabulous news tonight on the “investiment ta’ 320 milljun u ahna mahna ha naghtuhom xejn” contract during the budget speech tonight?
Not a remote possibility. How else can Joseph Muscat get the public to focus again away from the cover up of the Manwel Mallia blunders?
Earlier this week, Konrat Mizzi announced an “interlocking agreement” between Enemalta, Shanghai Electric and Electrogas. Even The Malta Independent thought it wise to use quotation marks with the phrase “interlocking agreement,” because it is such an unusual and undefined term.
What exactly is an “interlocking agreement”?
Do you think Super One journalist Lindsay Gambin know what an “interlocking agreement” is?
TMI reported the Minister of Milestone Schedules saying that: “There will be no obligations to buy from any particular plant. Within the coming days the new timelines for the gas-fired plant will be announced,” he said.
Excellent. So does this mean that there will be no 18 year agreement?
My suspicion is now stronger: some deal has been reached about the interconnector. Is it being privatised to the two powerstation operators? Something tells me that the interlocking agreement has something to do with the interconnector.

Bet he’ll come up with something. It will be enormously flawed, but he’ll come up with something…and the masses will bleat in approval without understanding the details or implications.
There goes another one with a worn-out palm.
