This is the Super One journalist Konrad Mizzi has been seeing, and the reason his wife left for China

Konrad and Sai Mizzi

Her name is Lindsey Gambin. She is 29, and worked for the Labour Party’s TV station Super One, in the newsroom, until Labour got into government last year.

When Konrad Mizzi was made Energy Minister, she left Super One and joined his private secretariat as his communications consultant.

Sai Laing Mizzi was with her husband for the first opening of parliament under the new government in March 2013. The public’s first and only sight of her before she met the press in China a few weeks ago was in the brief video footage taken that day.

Shortly afterwards, things started to go belly up. Three months later, in June, Konrad Mizzi bought a flat near the Nazarene Church in Sliema and moved out of the family home in Fgura. When I wrote about his purchase of this flat, a week after it occurred, I was under the impression that they had bought it together as their new family home. But he moved in alone.

Then in September Times of Malta reported that Mrs Mizzi had been made “Malta Enterprise envoy to China” and that she would be moving to that country.

A flurry of press stories followed, and information soon emerged that she would be moving there with the couple’s children, and that the terms of her agreement with Malta Enterprise covered her housing, their schooling and other similar expenses.

Malta Enterprise has refused to release that contract despite several requests made by different media organisations under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act. The government has also refused to table her contract in parliament at the request of the Opposition.

Newsrooms, and politicians of the Opposition, have persistently sought to discover what exactly it is that Mrs Mizzi will be doing in China, given that Malta already has an ambassador there. No information has been given, except a vague reference to “the facilitation of visas”.

Confirming the growing, and now more or less confirmed, suspicion that Sai Mizzi isn’t actually doing any work for Malta Enterprise at all, there are still no contact details available for the Malta Enterprise envoy in China: no office address and no telephone number. We do not even know in which city she is living.

Last year, when reporters asked for contact details for the Malta Enterprise office in China, or at least for those of its envoy (contact information for a trade envoy’s office should for obvious reasons be publicly available), we were told that Mrs Mizzi had not yet found an office. When she had found one, we would be informed. Fourteen months have gone by and there is still no such information.

Mrs Mizzi was wheeled out during a government delegation to China when she had been there for a year already, in a sort of ‘show-and-tell’ to stop people wondering. She gave an interview to a handpicked journalist, in which no questions were asked about what she had been doing for the year she had been there, where her office is, or what her work really entails.

Konrad Mizzi’s relationship with Super One journalist Lindsey Gambin, who he put on the state payroll in his private secretariat, was an open secret among members of the press and politicians. But now I can confirm that last Saturday they were seen in an intimate embrace and kissing each other in the Tiffany Champagne and Cigar Room at Hilton Malta.

Last night, at around midnight, they came off a flight together at Malta Airport. When Mizzi flew to Beijing last month claiming that he was to hold meetings with Shanghai Electric (which is based a two-hour flight away from Beijing, in Shanghai), Lindsey Gambin went with him.

I think it is now obvious what has happened here. Konrad and Sai Mizzi’s marriage broke down in the context of his relationship with Super One journalist Lindsey Gambin. Mrs Mizzi, as any other woman would in her situation, living in a foreign country with a husband who is running around with another woman, wanted to go back home to the comforting embrace of the familiar.

Her husband could not or would not finance his wife’s relocation to China and the ensuing maintenance payments, so his government stepped in to do it instead.

Konrad Mizzi does not have to support his wife or his children or even pay for a new home for them. The government of Malta has obligingly done that for him.

Of course, this makes it imperative that we find out what Sai Mizzi’s contract contains. In the light of this information, there should be renewed calls for that contract under the Freedom of Information Act and the Data Protection Commissioner is obliged to reconsider his upholding of the government’s refusal, in the public interest.

It is now clear that Mrs Mizzi is not there to do a job at all. Sight of that contract will probably reveal that it contains a clause specifying that the government cannot terminate it without a very large compensation settlement. Mrs Mizzi will not be entitled to any maintenance in their divorce settlement because of her considerable earnings now and the fact that her home and children are catered for already. The terms of a divorce cannot be renegotiated, which means that she will want to be protected against termination of her contract by an incoming PN government in 2023, as she will have no maintenance from her ex husband.

    OMG was it just one big orgy at Super One? What game did all the girls play there? Which man am I going to bed?

    And Konrad Mizzi had the gall to pour scorn on Tonio Fenech.

    Shame on you, Mizzi. Not only are you totally incompetent and in way above your head. You are a cheat, a liar and a thief. To use the tax coffers to pay off your wife is nothing short of thievery.

      Joseph knows how cheaply people can be bought and controlled.

      He now utterly controls people using a combination of power, blackmail and perks.

      With Owen, his philandering ways. With Konrad, his relationship and the fact that the government financed his divorce and alimony. And so many more.

      Yesterday, we revisited the film Videocracy. What lessons it must have taught Joseph. He is Malta’s own manipulative Berlusconi (except that he’s not into women).

      It’s so evident now. But behind the seat of power there are his financiers.

        Daphne is not being sought by the (Acting) Commissioner of Police, as the ex-EU Commissioner was.

        She has no reason to send medical certificates to keep postponing the case for months hoping for Kon-rat to change his mind and withdraw his libel suit.

    So is Joseph Muscat going to create a job for Minister Owen Bonnici’s wife?

    [Daphne – Mrs Bonnici is a hard-working staff nurse at Mater Dei Hospital.]

    Gahan says:
    JUNE 20, 2014 AT 7:01 AM
    I have it from a reliable source (Konrad Mizzi’s relative) that Konrad Mizzi and Laing Sai have divorced.
    They may have been divorced in China rather than Malta, and that would account for his frequent visits to that country last year.
    If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s a duck. Laing Sai has literally disappeared. There is no news of her and nobody – not investors, not the press – has any contact details for her.

    At long last!

    • Gahan says:

      That shows that Daphne wants to be extra sure of what she writes here.

    • kram says:

      I can confirm that Mrs Bonnici is a hard working staff nurse with no ‘pretensjonijiet’ (sorry cannot find the proper English word) being a minister’s wife. I was shocked by your story and hoped that it was not true.

      [Daphne – The English word is ‘pretensions’. Yes, it’s true. She is consulting her lawyers, but I don’t know that either from her lawyers or from her.]

    • Joe Fenech says:

      If she’s a hard-working woman, she should consider this a blessing. Decent people have no place round these buggers.

      • dudu bedudu says:

        In fact that’s what I thought, that she was too good to be a Labour minister’s wife. At times had second thoughts that Minister Bonnici might not be like the typical Labour minister but was proved wrong.

      • Joe Fenech says:

        dudu

        They’re all the same. If you harbour any sense of decency, you would not stand being round that clan.

    • Changing of the guard says:

      To divorce in Malta, you must be separated for four years first. I think they might have divorced in China.

    • anna caruana says:

      These are serious accusations.

      If this is true than the PN should ask for his resignation. Why should we pick up the bill for a failed marriage?

      They asked for the PM’s resignation because a project is not on time (what a joke).

      Name one project that started or finished on time in Malta.

      We are already picking up the bill for Franco Debono’s 24 hrs a day police protection outside his residence in Hal Ghaxaq.

      [Daphne – And for his car, chauffeur and salary, don’t forget those.]

  5. Lizz says:

    Gives a new meaning to the expression “I’m in!”

    And once we’re at it, perhaps Konrad might now tell us exactly when it’s coming. The power station, of course.

  6. kram says:

    So my impression was right all along, that we were financing their divorce.

    Speaking of China, here’s a link to The Malta Independent article concerning Reno Calleja and Leisure Clothing.

    What struck me most was that his dream as a young man was to see the closure of the British military base.

    When I read such statements I feel like banging my head against the wall, especially when such a statement comes from a former minister. At least I console myself that I never voted for such people.

    http://www.independent.com.mt/articles/2014-11-07/local-news/Former-Labour-Minister-Reno-Calleja-says-he-has-nothing-to-do-with-Leisure-Clothing-6736125177

  7. herbie says:

    I and probably many like me always suspected that this was a sort of a divorce settlement at the expense of the tax payer.

    Could I be right?

  8. Pier Pless says:

    Disgusting.

    They use public funds to sort out personal problems.

    As for their behaviour (and I include Owen Bonnici here), it is abysmal. The level of immaturity and irresponsibility beggars belief.

  9. kram says:

    So Super One is a factory for ministers’ girlfriends and family bashers?

  10. jim says:

    Shame on you, Konrad.

  11. Oh yeah says:

    Geez! Who’s next?

  12. Arnold Layne says:

    It just gets worse and worse. And no sense of accountability. The resources of the state at the disposal of the chosen ones.

    I would be grateful if the members of the media who have not been co-opted by Labour could extend a public invitation to the Prime Minister for a bare-all interview. He will, of course, refuse, but at least he would be exposed for what he is.

  13. canon says:

    Ara vera telgha ghar-rashom il-poter. Ara tfaqqa xi wahda fuq Joseph Muscat issa.

    A government embroiled in sleaze.

    The bloody hypocrite then points the finger at others accusing them of corruption. Labour, so damn predictable.

  16. verita says:

    Are these ministers heartless?

    Did they ever consider their children’s hurt before yielding in to these crafty ONE workers?

    These ministers are weak puppets on a string.

    When you think that these guys hit a low, they stoop even lower.

    They are nothing more than a bunch of thieving, whoring bigots with no standards, no morals and the gall to point fingers at others. We are governed by scum. Nothing more. Nothing less.

  18. Salvu says:

    Any minister in Europe, if faced with these allegations, would immediately submit his resignation “to clear his name”.

    But that will not be even considered by the most honourable Konrad Mizzi. And not expected by the even more honourable Prime Minister.

    • dudu bedudu says:

      But if they start resigning for such reasons, Joseph Muscat might end up with the smallest cabinet in Maltese history.

  19. canon says:

    I have already said this in a previous comment that fact is stranger than fiction.

  20. Nice ONE ! says:

    All that pouting and posing and heavy breathing the news at Super One – they used sex to haul in the electorate and then the inevitable happened.

  21. Katrin says:

    Any mud snail is more honest. Having their penis prominently located on their head, they make no secret out of who’s in charge.

  22. Miskin ! says:

    Poor Joseph Muscat, the only one stuck with his wife while the rest of his team are rogering the girls at Super One.

  23. kjd says:

    So this is what being liberal, progressive and non-conformist is all about.

    I knew they have been fucking around for the last two years, but come on. His wife is paid for by the taxpayer and sent to China and now his new sex mate is also paid for by the tax payer (and also gets a free trip to China).

    It would be comic if it was not so tragic that the country is run by a bunch of oversexed, double-crossing cheaters and liars.

  24. P Shaw says:

    Can a new government, say a PN government, challenge the contract termination clauses in a court? The PN government will be stuck with multiple Taghna Lkoll political appointees as CEOs, etc with such clauses. Terminating them will cost a fortune.

    If Sai is on government payroll she may be called back and/or given another job.

    • ciccio says:

      If Sai Mizzi Liang is on public payroll, she is a public servant/officer of the government of Malta.

      If she is being paid by the government to shut her up – in order to stop her from suing the Minister personally and privately, or simply in order to alleviate the Minister from having to make personal payments from his remuneration to her – then the payments to her are CORRUPTION. You cannot pay a PUBLIC SERVANT to stop him/her from taking private (or public) action against a Minister.

    Mod gdid kif taghmel il-politika. Ta’ vera.

  34. Jozef says:

    Regarding your last paragraph;

    one sees the logic in pushing for no fault divorce, and why the taxpayer is required to fund children’s well being should an agreement not be reached.

    Bit late now.

  35. Jozef says:

    I think Ariadne Massa should really come clear on this, if she can. When she won’t, she’s complicit to this scandalous misappropriation of taxpayers’ money.

    Perhaps Frank Psaila should invite Godfrey Grima to the next convention, have him repeat how Fenech Adami was doing the same a year or two into his first legislature.

  36. Can't take no more says:

    Gobsmacked. Does part of the job interview involve getting naked and posing in front of a one-way window?

    Are staff parties orgies?

    Do the boys and girls at One TV play a new game called Which Minister Am I Going To F**k? What a bunch of degenerates. Disgusting.

    How a person behaves in his/her private life reflects his/her way of thinking in general.

    This attitude of screwing everything they see and touch pretty much mirrors the damage they are doing to the country and the electorate.

  37. eve says:

    So the modus operandi seems to be:

    – PL politician finds a “friend”

    – “friend” is given a job at One TV until elections

    – once politician is in power, “friend” is transferred to the State payroll.

    • Paddling Duck says:

      – once on the state payroll you f**k the “friend”

      – wife gets to know about the “friend” so you also put her on the state payroll too, but give her a lot more money

      And the modus operandi will be revealed in the next episode of Kon’s Rod of Energy and Health.

  41. Chris says:

      Michelle must be seriously worried as to when her skeletons are coming out of the cupboard. Pity she just missed Halloween, as they might have got camouflaged in the midst of the trick or treating.

      Come to think of it this government sounds like a perennial Halloween holiday: you are either tricked or treated.

  42. Manuel says:

    It’s obvious that Mrs. Mizzi’s silence was bought. Pity that we, the tax payers, are paying for her alimony.

    Il-Ministru Mizzi u aktar u aktar il-protettur tieghu, il-Prim Ministru, ghandhom jaghtu spjegazzjoni.

    Dejjem nibqa’ nemmen fi kliemek li dawn mhumiex nies biex inehhu l-korruzzjoni imma biex ikunu parti minnha.

    • ken il malti says:

      And prime minister Jo is his enabler.

      Konrad’s blatant immorality and dishonesty and incompetence takes the spotlight off Jo’s immorality, dishonesty and incompetence.

      Mr Caterpillar- lips is the perfect fall-guy.

  71. Melissa says:

    It sounds like One TV Station is an escort agency for the ‘top’ guys. So ‘reporter’ training and recruitment becomes part of the grooming process, or the other way round?

  72. Banana Republic .... again says:

    Looks like they were all screwing each other before the election and now they are screwing us.

    Is that what they meant when they were all shouting “I’m in”?

  73. Queen's English says:

    I like the navigation buttons at the bottom of your page.

    I also like that you post links below the main post. You are right, I (and I suppose others our age) prefer to look up references after we read the main post.

    What I suggest you do is that when we click on a link it opens up in a new window instead of taking us away from your blog.

    • Scorpion0668 says:

      Right click on the link….. click on “Open in new tab/window”.

      Another tab/window should open and the blog should remain.

    Most journalists who are on missions in Warzones are embedded with the military.

    I am now understanding how it works in my home country – journalists on a Taghna Lkoll mission are lured to get embedded …with cabinet ministers.

  77. Queen's English says:

    You don’t need me to tell you this but seeing that Conrat is suing because of this article, you will have to ask for Sai Ling’s contract to be exhibited. The idiot has acted rashly.

    [Daphne – I agree that he has acted rashly. He will discover that when you are questioned under oath on the witness stand in court, you can’t refuse to answer questions or simply avoid them as he does with the press and in parliament. You have to answer.]

  78. follower says:

    Oh my god. ConRat has been caught in a trap. Comments after newspapers reports are screaming. Though I have no doubt about this piece of information, he decided to open a libel suit against you. This is going to be a nasty job for our phenomenal full of energy minister. Keep it up and keep going.

    • Francis Saliba M.D. says:

      ConRat has not been caught in a trap.

      He’ll soon find out that he has caught his own figures in a trap he was setting up for a critic who was expressing the disdain of a large section of the Maltese public.

    • AE says:

      Yes, most of the on-line comments on Times of Malta are in Daphne’s favour. And this is known to be a Labour domain.

      I guess most people have had it up to here with this Ministru Fenomenali. Doesn’t he know that you can fool some of the people some of the time but not all people all of the time. Sfaccat.

  79. NGT says:

    I bet Minister Mizzi wishes that he hadn’t pulled his Pullicino ‘trump card’ out so soon.

  80. pale blue my foot! says:

    Konrad, you fool! Don’t you know that Daphne would never reveal such info unless she is 100% sure and has double checked the facts and sources?

    You probably think that suing Daphne for libel would give the impression that you have nothing to hide. Daphne, thanks for having the guts to face up to this bunch of knaves.

  81. Neil says:

    So many people commenting on the TOM/TMI sites and only considering the affair. Not the slightest inkling that that’s really not the big issue here.

    Daphne, do you know if the libel suit is related only to your allegation about the affair, or is it also to do with your comments on the reasons behind her employment?

    And of course her being paid astronomical sums from the public coffers for doing bugger all.

  82. Trabokk says:

    U inti tahseb li mhux qed iqalleb fil-gwardarobba biex johrog b’wahda bhal ta’ Pullicin? Issa drajnihom, mhux hekk, NGT?

    ghaliex ma tghidilnix ghaliex simon busuttil ma ghadux mal-mara tieghu ukoll?? missek tisthi taqa daqshekk personali fuq in-nies.

    [Daphne – Diga ghidtilkom diversi drabi, Chris. Il-mara ta’ Simon Busuttil telqitu snin ilu ghal ragel iehor. Hu qatt ma kellu l-hadd, u huwa biss issa, wara tant snin, li beda johrog ma’ mara serja u tamparu.]

      Daphne, I’ve just spotted two interrogative marks. Not fair!

      L-fatt hu li l-ex mara ta’ Simon Busuttil ma tithallasx jien mit-taxxi taghna.

      Irid jkollok wiccek tost u pastaz biex titfa l-piz t’ghemilek fuq il-poplu. Jew kif jghidu, ‘progressiv’.

    I hope someone had the good sense to whip out their mobile phone and get this Lothario on camera.

    I thought you can only get a divorce after 4 years living separated or legally separated.

    Is this another hbieb tal-hbieb where they have their own loop holes and don’t abide by the law?

    • Mark Vassallo says:

      You can get divorced in less than 4 years if you qualify to get divorce in another jurisdiction.

      That’s the reason why in the days when there was no divorce in Malta it was possible to get divorced elsewhere, under their rules.

  101. verita says:

    Janice and Lindsay are only following Joseph’s pre electoral call: Nistiednuk tinghaqad ma’ dan il-moviment tal-bidla u tal-aspirazzjonijiet.

    They must have taken it literally.

  102. vitor says:

    If what you say is true, the ramifications are far bigger than the goings-on at Super One and the private lives of politicians.

    If the government created a very costly non-job and siphoned off sums which will eventually total millions of euros of taxpayers’ money into it to get a minister out of a domestic hole (no pun intended), with a secret contract with huge penalties if it is revoked in future, then surely there is something deeply corrupt and prima facie criminal here.

    It is difficult to believe the Prime Minister was not at least aware of this, especially given the fanfare at the time.

    This is the kind of stuff which snowballs as more revelations come in, and leads to governments resigning – although, I suspect, not this time in Malta. I think, if true, this is the most momentous scoop you have ever announced on your website.
