Best suggestion yet (the investigation). But do you really believe that a political party once elected will ever actually do anything about any wrongdoing by its predecessor? Doesn’t history repeat itself, hence your answer should be “no.”

Fi ftit kliem il-Malti injorant pesta u ma jiehux pjacir jekk ser tweghdu li ha taghti tindifa papali.

Sitwazzjoni delikata u dan li qed nghid qed jigi kkonfermat f’survey xjentifiku wiehed wara l-iehor.

Jien li kien ghalija direct orders jispiccaw darba ghal dejjem, permessi tal-Planning Authority ma johorgux fil-kampanja elettorali, jaqghu l-boathouses illegali kollha, president/brigadier/kummissarju jridu jigu approvati biz-zewg terzi etc.

Imma bhali nahseb ma tigborx 30,000 f’Malta kollha.

It is high time that Simon Busuttil pledges to conduct a case-by-case review of such appointments holding to account the respective selection boards and permanent secretaries who ultimately endorse the recommendations by selection boards.

Unless drastic action is taken to begin to reverse the outrageous appointments made under Taghna Lkoll, the civil service is guaranteed quasi paralysis for decades.

Other than being unfit for purpose, a good number of appointees will be doing their level best to torpedo the incoming administration’s objectives. This was already happening under the Nationalist administration when Labour sympathisers in senior positions were hell-bent on portraying the Nationalist Government in the worst possible light.

The situation will be infinitely worse if these cronies are left in positions of any influence.

The Prime Minister deserves to go to prison more than Keith Schembri does, more than Konrad Mizzi, more than Brian Tonna, more than Evarist Bartolo’s canvasser – because the buck stops with him.
