Sai Mizzi Liang’s contract expires on Friday
Mrs Konrad Mizzi’s contract with the government of Malta, which permits her to live unmonitored and unchecked in Shanghai with their children, unaccountable to anybody while hoovering up large sums of money and plotting with her husband and corrupt accountant Brian Tonna to set up money-laundering vehicles in Panama and New Zealand, expires on Friday.
Her corrupt husband had said to the press, on the occasion of his election as Labour Party deputy leader last February – when the news of his corruption had begun to break already – that he and his wife had discussed the matter and that they had agreed that her contract would not be renewed in August, because for some reason they had decided it was incompatible with his new responsibilities as party deputy leader (though perfectly compatible with his responsibilities as a government minister).
And it was fascinating the way he spoke about renewing the contract as though it was their decision and not the government’s.
Nobody at that press conference snapped to it and asked him whether this meant she would be returning with the children to Malta, or whether they would be staying in Shanghai. That was a really important question to ask, because it points to the crux of the matter: whether she wanted to leave and they found a way of making it possible for her to do so, or whether she’s really there just to do a job.
Konrad Mizzi and his ace aide Lindsey Gambin don’t take my calls, as you can imagine. So please would some other journalist get on his case and ask him whether Mrs Mizzi’s contract with the government is going to be renewed this Friday, after all, given that he is no longer deputy leader of the Labour Party and so there are no longer any ‘incompatibility issues’?
And if it is not going to be renewed this Friday, please ask him whether she intends to return from China as there is no further purpose to her being there, and whether his children will be put into Maltese schools next month.
