This government’s due diligence standards really don’t inspire confidence and trust

This comment was posted by CBE, and s/he’s right:

Joseph Muscat’s due diligence standard is such that he engaged a World-Bank-blacklisted Chinese company to carry out a study on the Gozo bridge, and also engaged a World-Bank-blacklisted friend as a consultant to his government.

Oh yes, and he also engaged somebody who is under investigation by the European Commission as his ‘health czar’.

    Very soon Malta will be completely shunned and isolated like a small island in the middle of an ocean which we really are.

    EU membership or not, makes little difference and my perception from day one that Joseph is distancing itself from it was a correct one. He is doing everything to tick off the EU and indirectly he will succeed to a point when membership will become pointless.

    The 10th anniversary ‘celebrations’, the 2017 ‘Malta’s EU Presidency’ and ‘Valletta European Heritage City’ will be just smokescreens as the government’s heart is not in any of them.

    We can only have pity on those who will not manage to flee such an unwelcome experience.

    I wonder whether Henley & Partners/the government would tell us how many applied for citizenship, and how many of those were refused following due diligence. I bet it would be a one-digit percentile.
