Here’s a wager: Kenely will retain his position under a future PN government. Politika nadifa here we come.

The previous administration did not know about Shiv Nair. Warnings were dismissed as red herrings.

And FTR Kenely doesn’t count.

And I suppose the previous administration knew nothing of all this and is completely innocent.

Come on, Tabatha. You know better.

Actually, you focused on arrangements being made before March 2013. That, is what my reply focused on. The arrangements were in no way to do with the previous administration, but with this rotten lot under focus within the LP administration and Government.

Very conveniently, AIB finance is available to companies and individuals blacklisted by the World Bank. There was no question of Muscat not supporting the project.

They are spending the first five years making sure they’ll get another 25. In the longer term, short term objections are forgotten, washed away in a flood of cash and favours. Is anyone raising hell about the power station that was meant to start up last March? Or about the possible kickbacks involved? Well, then.

What the feck are you on about? I asked about the collusion of the previous administration and here you are talking about DSK. Do you always have to go off on a conspiracy tangent?

That bank was launched only the other day, as a counterweight to the International Monetary Fund and to US influence in international finance.

Malta was invited, together with a number of other European nations, to join in the enterprise.

I wonder whether Muscat would have bothered to do so had it not been for his abysmal subservience to, and obsession with, things Chinese.
