I see that you chose to leave the most pertinent point till last.

The so called ‘experts consultants’ know fu..k all and their only qualifications are being billboard stars, ONE TV employees, Taghna Lkoll singers and blue eyed boys and girls.

Hence a fiasco (for which we are paying dearly) in oil hedging, some laws changed multiple times till they get them right, etc.

Now tourism is no joke; it can go as it came, suddenly. All we need an incompetent at the helm or God forbid (I am always worried about this) a terrorist act.

Then adio to economic growth and PERCENTAGE debt of GDP.

Grow with the job – not a blow one I hope .

But no one seems to bother.

Is the PN going to remain dormant?

Are we going to continue to say heqq, another Taghna Lkoll appointment and act as though nothing happened?

Zammit Lewis continues to disappoint. Why was Edward Zammit removed as his head of secretariat and given that position to keep him quiet? Wasn’t he good enough?

Well done, PM, for the meritocracy you promised before the general elections. You are no longer credible.

Such Taghna Lkoll people should set up stages at events and not take these jobs. We are now used to this.

50,000 euros a year for someone without the commensurate qualifications and without the position being advertised. Vera gvern tal-hbieb.

The same stamperija crew that brought Gonzi down.
