Maggie wrote this comment beneath my post called “Accreditation? Oh, I’m sure Martin Scicluna will oblige.”

The Prime Minister is already interfering in the work of the accreditation body.

By being the face of this project instead of its owner, Hani Hasan Naji Al Salah, Muscat is making the point that anyone who opposes or does not cooperate with the project’s realisation is in fact opposing him, the Prime Minister.

“Do the right thing” is a loaded phrase. If Muscat had wanted the right thing to be done, he would not be fronting the project, sorting out its problems, taking such a public and personal interest and defending it so ferociously before the media. He would have stayed out of it completely.

An honorary doctorate in deception should be the first honour bestowed on Muscat by the Jordanian University of Cottonera. A deceptive doctorate from a deceptive non-American, highly questionable diploma mill masquerading as an EU-accredited university with the full cooperation of Malta’s disgraceful authorities.
