Is he nuts ? Stopping an adjudication process in its final stages is not a direct involvement ?

Chris Cardona – the worst offender as an election candidate for sending unsolicited spam SMS messages, recipients list obtained, certainly, by questionable means, since I and others I know receiving his messages certainly never signed up to it.

The signs were there even at that early stage.

In reply to Watcher of lies.

I strongly agree that “The people are now suffering from corruption cases memory overload” and something must be done to remedy this.

Keeping a ‘page’ with all the cases of deceit, corruption and cronyism, and all the infringements of democracy and correct parliamentary practices during this legislature, would prove extremely useful at refreshing our collective memories.

It should be regularly updated and posted to all the switchers we know of – just to keep rubbing it in for landing us all in this sewer for the next 3 years at least.

Daphne,

The people are now suffering from corruption-cases memory overload. I believe that this is part of the pirates’ leader’s real road map.

All the innocence talk before the election has gone down the drain. We are seeing the real wolf beneath the sheep’s clothing. Something had to give for an 18000 swing.

This is an extract from the Auditor’s investigation into the procurement of legal services for the Privatisation Unit, to assist in the award of a casino licence:

“The re-ranking process carried out directly by Minister Chris Cardona and Parliamentary Secretary Edward Zammit Lewis detracted from the process’s overall level of transparency. Further accentuating this concern is the fact that the document submitted by Minister MEIB with respect to how the re-ranking process was carried out had various shortcomings.”
