I am with Manwel Mallia on this matter of who should resign.  Justice must be done and it must be seen to be done.  

He is responsible, but he is not the only one who is responsible.  The other culprits should be held accountable too.]]></description>

&quot;Could be that Kurt Farrugia was indeed forced to go and sit next to him during that now infamous press conference and not the other way round.&quot;

I am convinced that Mallia would have insisted on addressing that conference with Farrugia sitting next to him. 

Farrugia and the prime minister are ultimately responsible for the quality of the information in the press release because the Department of Information falls under the &#039;jurisdiction&#039; of the Office of the Prime Minister.]]></description>

&quot;Given that Mallia isn’t responsible for what the OPM issues, but only that by his ministry, the legal eagle won’t budge on this point. &quot;

In legal fact, Mallia stands over Joseph&#039;s Muscat dead body.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Kurt Farrugia and Joseph Muscat are as guilty as Silvio Scerri and Manuel Mallia.

They should have all resigned but now the prime minister is being portrayed as the victim and sacrificial lamb. He still hasn&#039;t told us who phoned him that night, at what time and where he was. What exactly did they tell him?

It is incredible that from the comfort of our living rooms, most of Malta knew what was happening and that Smith&#039;s car had bullets in it while Kurt Farrugia was relying on Manuel Mallia who in turn was relying on the Acting Police Commissioner for information.

Either way they were not fit for their posts and I agree with Baxxter when he said that if he were Mallia he would ask for the resignation of Joseph Muscat.]]></description>
