The strategy of dragging things out by using one delaying tactic after another has worked. Parliament goes into recess in a few weeks and Lino Farrugia Sacco retires in August.

And the press and the public have lost track of the issue because so many other obscuring tactics have been flung into the mix, intentionally or otherwise.

    And the press has also stopped asking about World Bank blacklisted consultant Shiv Nair and his terms of engagement with Malta Enterprise.

      With the exception of a handful of journalists, the press has stopped asking questions, period. The media simply fulfils the function of reporting news never following up or asking critical questions.

        To be fair, the press has its hands full dealing with fresh scandals that crop up almost on a weekly basis.

        It’s up to the PN to make sure that, from time to time, cases like those of Shiv Nair are brought back to the public’s attention.

        The same goes for Dalli’s adventures in the Caribbean and the oil procurement scandal, which involved well-known Labour activists and politicians, to mention just two.

    Yes indeed Daphne he will. Reason for his doing so is because he has proved himself to be untouchable. This chap has been pulling your legs and mine and everybody else’s since the year 2007. That was when he was elected President of the Malta Olympic Committe. He has since then, year after year, been blantly defying the Commission of Administration of Justice. When at last the previous administration decided to get things done it proved to be too late. After a fresh impeachment motion was finally filed against him he went on record claiming that he did not get a fair hearing. After all is said and would have been, fact will remain that this chap has surely proved himself to be unable to that which any honourable person would have done.

    Judge Farrugia Sacco may have escaped impeachment but Joseph Muscat will continue to carry the stigma of having helped him avoid justice.

    It’s up to the PN to do something about this in political terms.

    This country which I love so much is being reduced to a mickey-mouse club house. I am fed up with these political games when the new party in Government promised nothing short other than the best in Europe.

    What a joke!

    The PN should make a list of all the scandals that have come to light since the last election and post it on the social media if not publishing them in newspapers after adding any new ones.

    I suggest that this article is pinned to the top of your blog for a few days. If Labour is concealing this scandal, WE WON’T FORGET IT.
