Stefan Buontempo is the parliamentary secretary for local government (heavens knows what he does all day). His state-paid chauffeur, driving his official car which was still wearing the GM plates it is supposed to wear only when on official business, was photographed this evening waiting for Buontempo’s son to finish football training at Mater Dei school in Msida. he had driven him there earlier already.

More drivers and shots.
Thankfully this time it wasn’t bullets but balls.
I doubt whether they have any of those.
GM21 is a regular outside the St. Martin’s College gates in Swatar – and it’s NEVER official business, unless one considers collecting a parliamentary secretary’s sons from school as being “official business”.
The car sometimes carries Buontempo there himself. He stands among the other parents, mostly mothers, affecting nonchalance but evidently expecting to be noticed.
He is noticed, for the wrong reasons.
Important People, Baxxter. Here they are again.
What a dated sense of things.
Late arrivals to civilisation.
The same car passes by Chiswick House School for the other child first. Busy dal ministru!
Is it a case of the driver being too lazy to change the plates or is it the exploitation of the ‘do you know who I am’ and ‘get out of my way because I have power’ syndrome?
Who is the gatekeeper as regards how perks paid for out of tax payers money are used? Can someone calculate what each hour of a driver with a car, aproximate fuel and wear and tear costs? Is it left to each individual minister, parliamentary secretary, CEO’s good sense and conscience not to abuse perks or are there rules/laws written somewhere?
These would have been good questions in the days when Malta was still a democracy, before the days when everyone was happy in North Korea.
Jesmond Mugliett was infamous for doing this when he was a minister, with his driver parking outside the Chiswick House School gates and then walking Mugliett’s small daughter down the 20-metre ramp to the school door and carrying her bag, while Mugliett himself remained seated in the car.
It is not the driver who picks the children up, it’s the Minister himself! He’s never busy at 2:20..
Lil Stefan halluh. Taqbdux mieghu miskin, li ma tmorrux TQAJMUH.
Has anyone calculated how much an official car + driver costs the tax-payer per hour?
