Those who don’t want to fight their battles in public should give up their public positions

Too many people on this benighted island want to have their cake, eat it and bake it again. They want to block their public position while they take their time recovering – in Schembri’s case on a public salary, refuse to keep the public informed of the current state of affairs, and then also tell the public that they have no right to know, demanding privacy.

If you want privacy, resign your public position. And if you don’t want to fight your battles in public, get out of your public post.

And who’s sticking his two cents in, of all people? This ultra-corrupt person. He’d better get out of hiding and start fighting some very public battles about all those companies he has kept hidden from government authorities while controlling the government – in Panama, the British Virgin Islands, Gibraltar and Cyprus, which are just the ones we know about.

This sleazy, corrupt man is now trying to play the ‘poor me, I’m so ill’ card for sympathy points from the very public he’s been ripping off and cheating.

Oh, and another thing – don’t make the mistake of thinking that he’s being nice to Mario Demarco here, because the last thing Demarco needs right now is to be associated with Keith Schembri, given that Adrian Hillman – the disgraced former managing director of the Times of Malta and The Sunday Times – was Demarco’s closest and most trusted friend, but betrayed him by turning out to be secretly in corrupt league with, yes, Keith Schembri.

What are you still doing in your post as chief of staff to the Prime Minister, Schembri, when you can’t even get to your desk? Get out and face the police. We’ve had one Commissioner of Police resign already because he’s too scared to act on the Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit report into your corruption.
