RAMONA ATTARD – former Super One reporter – appointed chief of staff to Parliamentary Secretary Ian Borg in March 2013, but left that post in mysterious circumstances to become communications coordinator to Minister of the Interior Manuel Mallia, controversially keeping the higher salary of a chief of staff. When Mallia was fired, Ramona Attard, instead of losing her job as is usual in these situations, moved to the Office of the Prime Minister as a part-time consultant on €32,000 a year.
