That goes without saying that he should sack Konrad Mizzi and his chief of staff for setting up the companies in the first place. And I have a strong  feeling that the worst case of corruption has still to surface.]]></description>

The PM will not sack Mizzi and Schembri because nobody and nothing can force him to sack them and also because he thinks that sacking them will be an admission of guilt in the eyes of his supporters. 

Yes, Mr Cachia is right. In a few days we will be told that there is no money, that the shares are €92 and there is no reason to take this further. 

In the meantime the Nationalist Party&#039;s efforts will be dismissed as usual negativity and we proceed to the general elections. Unfortunately I predict a Labour win again.]]></description>

Precisely. Muscat&#039;s contention that he will take steps if it results that there were or are millions stashed away is simply BS. 

The fact that one of his Ministers and his Chief of Staff set up companies in secretive Panama and then hid them in a New Zealand trust is sufficient in itself to sack both of them. Not doing so immediately brings him under the same cloud of suspicion. 

But then he says that he knew that Schembri had &#039;foreign financial structures&#039; when he appointed him. So did he not care that these included companies in the also secretive BVI? Did he even bother to investigate what these &#039;structures&#039; were?]]></description>
