PN statute and condemnations breach the law

Accountability and Corruption : next election’s battlefields
A footballer of the Maltese national team has been found guilty of match fixing by UEFA and condemned to a ten year ban.
There are those who think that the next electoral campaign will not be about jobs or education as some would like it to be. They are very important issues. But the crucial test will be that of accountability, transparency and good administration of public funds, which have been the main themes raised by dissenting backbenchers during the past four years.
In the past years Malta has seen courruption cases of all sorts including judges. We have seen mass bribery cases in road and sea driving licences. Malta has slipped down in the Perception of Corruption Index and the Group of States against Corruption has been chasing us for years to introduce a law on party funding, which I have drafted, but which they are leaving dormant out of spite. We have no Whistleblower Act and no decent Commission Against Corruption.
Corruption in Malta today is a grave and serious threat to a fair society. Not a week passes that the odour of corruption surrounds some government dealing, or some corporation or public entity. When and where the Police and Security Service do not investigate, it remains an odour. It is they who have the responsibility to investigate not the ordinary citizen. Where serious investigations were carried out these led to arraignments and convictions. Corruption erodes the social fabric and meritocracy, it strikes at the heart of democracy and the state.
The issues of accountability and corruption will be the main themes of the next electoral campaign. It is not those who field the greatest lackeys or yes men as candidates who will win but whoever is credible on good governance, transparency and accountability and the fight against corruption.
After the football bribery case only a Tangentopoli (political bribes) and Calciopoli (football bribes) on the Italian model can cleanse Maltese football and politics? In Italy these massive investigations led to a new and cleaner political and football landscape.
We are no nation of saints as some would like to make us believe, maybe for their sinister motives, and those who believe it are living in a fool’s paradise.

Posted at 16:04h, 19 AugustDear Dr Debono,
I would appreciate your opinion on the following;
1. The Tal Barrani victims never got compensated for the way they were mistreated . Yet, Mr Richard Cachia Caruana for an attack carried on his person -so far reason unknown- was awarded thousands of tax-payer Maltese liri in compensation.
2. The owners of two big residences in Delimara was compensated with hundreds of thousands of tax-payer Maltese liri for the inconvenience of having a power station built next door to them. So far , no compensation for damages to life or property has been awarded to the Marsa residents who have had to put up with worse thanks to the power station built right in their midst thirty or so years ago.
3. Residences built years ago which flout sanitation laws have , from the first of this month , been given a chance by MEPA. to have their residences regularized .The same facility has not, howevere, been extended in the case of residences built several decades ago which flout no regulation whatsoever ,save for having been constructed internally (by some long dead builder or architect0 with some descrepances to the original permits which descrepancies pose no danger or inconvenience to anyone.
4.Hard up families live in the daily fear of having their water and electricity supply cut for being unable to pay the exhorbitant fees.Yet, we learn from the media that such services have been known to have been given for free to the owners of super yachts berthed in certain marinas on the island.

Posted at 12:14h, 19 AugustI ask and wonder…..why hasn’t the Times reported anything about the illegality of the PN executive decision?
Alienation at its best! This is the news that we want to read about.
BETTER FUTURE
Posted at 15:59h, 19 AugustTo be perfectly clear I have my doubts about this illegality thing. After all if you want to run with me, I will want to accept you and confirm you will be able to abide by my guidelines. Also, the fact the the party was prosecution, judge and jury in a club would be acceptable as long as different persons took part in the different functions (OK all would be like puppets with the master pulling strings) but that is it.
I have written many times before that Franco has no chance to run this time round. No matter how hard he tries it will be futile. No, Franco will be around in 5 years time and he will be chased to run by the new PN. Franco’s (and Malta’s) best chances are for Franco to work with others to eliminate the clique that has overpowered everyone at the PN. They have their hands on huge purse strings (THAT IS HOW THEY GOT TO CONTROL EVERYTHING) and the only way to take away their power to take away this funding. This can only be done by putting the PN in opposition.

Posted at 08:58h, 19 AugustOf course we need the whistleblower act to safeguard the interests of the Maltese people, those that work hard for their survival. Yes Daphne, survival for us is not an issue, it is the biggest issue. We do not get fat paychecks from corrupt unkowns, those that pull the strings behind the scenes, and from those that consider themseves catholics or demochristians. The absolute majority of Maltese people are not corrupt. The real crooks, yes, the corrupt unkonwns are destroying the social fabric of our society. I repeat again here, Franco Debono deserve to rule not be ruled by the corrupt unkowns. Instead of slaying others with venom and mud, please, propose how Malta could become a better place rid of corruption. The posts by Franco are far superior to yours.

Posted at 15:43h, 19 AugustMario, now you are talking. But the awards would have to come from cases uncovered by the Act NOT from the taxpayer. Otherwise the Maltese citizen would be getting a double whammy. Call it revenge, call it retribution, call it whatever you like. But this concept has been around since time immemorial. It is normally titled “spoils of war”. All great nations have practised it. Will Labour guarantee that what was stolen from the Maltese nation, even in a legally sleazy way so much favoured by lawyers and their lackeys will be retuned to the nation, in one way or another?
Mario allison
Posted at 17:15h, 19 AugustLet me dare say this , it would be in labour’s best interest to see that justice is done with all those whomhas suffered an injustice,NOT VENGEANCE BUT JUSTICE. I believe that joseph have said many times that ,in the new way of making politics he is holding everybody personally responsable for his or her’s actions…. So we must let him proove himself. Are you game??

Posted at 08:27h, 19 AugustI have to intervene here. All this talk is nothing but talk. All of it is true mind you! But how are the Maltese sure that they will get not just revenge on who stole from them and left them penny-less? How are the Maltese sure that all this stolen money will be recovered for the benefit of the nation? Or is this a game played by the two main parties that dictates that no one in power will go for the other’s throat once out of power??!! Remember that babbu EFA? HOW MANY TIMES HE STATED THAT HE KNEW WHO COMMITTED MURDERS AND CORRUPTION AND HE ASKED US TO VOTE FOR CHANGE? How many murderers were uncovered? How much money was recovered and lands taken back? NONE AT ALL!! In fact, wrong doers were promoted by this conservative holy catholic politician taz-zeta.
Mario allison
Posted at 10:10h, 19 AugustThe worst mistake that a new goverment would make is seeking revenge, but giving people back what was theirs is not revenge, why shouldnt i be given the promotions i didnt have because i am not blue eyed. Why ,if there is proof enough ,ministers and all their stooges , canvassers,drivers,heads, ceo’s, chairmans, cfo’s, human resoureces managers, and the like ,not be taken to task .We have to start from somewhere and now is the right time.

Posted at 15:32h, 19 AugustMario, you have not answered my basic query, which is the most important for most Maltese. Mario, unbiased voters will not vote blindly this time round, as finally they have caught on to the PN spinners lies. BUT will their interests be safe with Labour? What CAST IRON promises do we have from Labour that justice will be meted out when re-elected? Or all will be forgotten after the election (as always all wrongdoers will keep their horde), and they will return to drink together, buddy buddy, in the (new) Parliament’s bar? Mario, I am not denying the stink that exists under the PN. All Malta knows it and except the few that benefited, loathe it. I always wrote against it. BUT I do not want to replace one set of money/power hunger monsters with another set. We witnessed that happen in the last Labour legislature prior to 1987, to be crudely followed these past 25 years, but as is PN’s style in far worse and larger sums. Tell me Mario, will Malta’s destruction these past 12 years be avenged?????
Mario allison
Posted at 16:31h, 19 AugustBetter future, it is not for me to guarantee anything ..alas… I am just an ordinary citizen,but i know one thing for sure,you cannot compare 30 years ago ,with today, did anybody ever proove anything? We simple people know it happened but proof? Tofay there is ample proof and court cases, anyway dont tell me that you still believe all that vibe about the old dinosaures stiil there , anglu was not in politics, ast is not a candidate, grima will never be, leo and karmenu ,you cant say anything about them, DO WE HAVE A CHOICE WHO TO VOTE? WE KNOW WHAT THE PN IS , BUT WE DONT KNOW YET WHAT JOSEPH IS ,SO WE HAVE TO TRUST HIM, HE WILL ONLY BE GIVEN A ONE TIME CHANCE, I MYSELF WILL NEVVER STOOP SO LOW AS TO VOTE FOR THE OLIGARCHY

Taf x’naf Mintoff kien halla Mal Lm500miljun lira u kollox kien f’idejn il-Poplu, issa xejn ma fadal, la Banek, La Sea Malta, dik ohra din mhux inbihhet imma nsterqet, Dockyard(Fairmount, harab min kien involut u xejn Interpol imdahhal fiha) l-Ajruport ta Malta, AirMalta falluta, Gas il Gvern hallas €3miljuni lil kumpanijja privata biex jibdew, Triq ta €4miljuni lil ta li Smart City project imhallas mil Poplu, l-anqas nista nkompli nghidlek il-hnizrijiet li saru ghax l-anqas nieqaf. Korruzzjoni sfrenata. Sewwa kien qal gurnalist Malti mgharuf anki mat-Times ta Londra li biex tkun ingaggat ma din il gazzetta mhux trid tkun DCG, imma kwalifikat bil bajd u l-gobon. Ministri li kien hemm fi zmien tal-Labour fil Gvern kienu abbatini hdejn li ghanda llum qal dan tat-Times ta Londra li kien jahdem maghha. Hallina mela Partit wiehed? Thallatx porkerijja ma nies kompetenti li hallew daqs dak Assi, meta thalli dejn sfrenat tkun Oligarkijja ta klikkek, ghax jibdew jibilaw kemm jifilhu bhal ma ghamlu.

Posted at 05:52h, 19 AugustMeta l-gustizzja tkun qed tinvestiga xi rejat , l-ewwel ma tfittex u tindaga hu l-ghala sar ir-rejat, f’termini legali ;il-mottiv .
Staqsejt kemm ‘l-darba lili nnifsi x’hinu l-mottiv tal-ghemil ta’ kull politiku , u rarament mort hazin. hekk per ezempju li JPO holoq dik il-private member’s bill biex ikun jista jiddivorzja minn ma Marlene ,jew li Mugliette astjena ghax il-prim ministru ma hax pjacir bl-intricci tal-pont Manwel Dimech.
Sakemm int , Franco, kellek it-tama li ssir ministru QATT ma lissint kelma kontra il-PN , mhux talli hekk, talli waqt il-baggit mort issabbat idek b’approvazzjoni ghal-kull haga li ghamel Gonzi, ma stajniex nimmisjawk ghax mort ezatt bil-qieghda bid-dritt il-kamera tat-televixin.
Jien wiehed milli ivvutajt lilek ghal biex ikollna demm gdid flok Ninu, ghax kienu jghidu li kien kiesah.Tellajt lilek li hrigt mal partit tieghi u spiccajt tispara kontra shabek fil-partit biex tilhaq int , spiccajt biex tajjart lil bniedem rispettat u ta’ l-affari tieghu minn ministru u fl-ahhar tal-mazzita sibna z-zbiba ghax ilsienek kixef il-MOTTIV meta ghidtlu ” Hu go fik! Dak li tieħu talli tagħmili l-ħsara mal Prim Imħallef”.
M’ilux , int Franco ghidt kemm thobb lil-partit u kwazi ghidt li hrigt minn guf ommok ixejjer il-bandiera tal-PN, nies bhalek ibezzawni, jien familti Laburisti u Nazzjonalist ghax konvint li x’hin titfa’ kollox fil-mizien issib li in-Nazzjonalisti li suppost thobb int, ghamlu bil-kbir iktar mil-Laburisti, il-keffa tal-mizien taqleb sew favur in-Nazzjonalisti, ghax il-MOTTIV taghhom kien li jtellghu lil-KULLHADD ‘il-fuq , mhux inizzlu lis-sinjur u jaghtu l-loqom lis-suppost batut biex jibqa’ jiddependi minnhom.
Int kellek tir f’rasek li ssir ministru , ghax suppost gibt hafna voti u ‘irbaht’ it-tellieqa ma Louis u Helen. Alla hares intellghu ministri lil-min igib l-aktar voti !
Il-hin kollu ghaddej bil-meritokrazija u titlob ir-rizenja ta’ shabek fil-partit minn ministri u kandidati. Mela ghax ambulanza tieqaf f’nofs ta’ triq jehel il-ministru?Jekk tinzillek ir-rota tal-karozza f’nofs ta’ triq tibdel ‘il min isewwilek?
Il-MOTTIV tieghek wara dan il-blog u wara li nhares lura ta’ x’ghamilt f’ismi MHUX GEJ MIS-SEWWA gej minn kilba ghal-poter li hadd m’hu se jafdak bih, l-affarijiet u r-riformi li ridt li jsiru hloqtom biex timbarazza lil-Partit li suppost thobb imma m’ghamilthomx b’imhabba. Fuq dan diga ktibtlek u wegibtni u nehhejtli il-kumment li ktibtlek , int li tghid li inti rett u tisthajlek xi magistrat Taljan imexxi xi mani pulite!
Haffirt hoffra li ma’ tista’ qatt tohrog minnha, issa meta jitla’ Joseph li tant qieghed tghinu biex jitla’ fil-gvern , jahtrek magistrat u wara imhallef.
L-elezzjoni li jmiss se tigi miggielda fuq l-ghazla tal-kandidati , jien l-ewwel se ntih lil-Schiavone , hekk inserrah rasi li l-vot tieghi jigi raprezentat sew.

however at this point i would be interested in your comment about the fact that hermann schiavone some years ago made a false, baseless, unfounded and illegal allegation in my regards and when he was asked by the party to either substantiate or withdraw it he did nothing.
is this serious?
is this schiavone’s party loyalty?

Posted at 21:05h, 18 AugustCorruption is too deeply entrenched in the Maltese mentality. It starts from the simple citizen who pushes his own contacts to get a job done and goes all the way up to government officials with million dollar contracts. As you said, an independent police force and magistrate system free from political influence would be a good start.
Punch and Judy Show
Posted at 22:17h, 18 AugustHow can one describe the unpredictability of MEPA decisions in certain cases? Hotels with scores of rooms and amenities built without a permit get sanctioned within days. Entire blocks of flats built decades ago with some internal changes to original permits that break no sanitation rules and pose no danger to anyone get enforcement notices that renders them worthless to present unsuspecting owners.

Posted at 21:04h, 18 Augustno alfred snot you dont have a point.Lawrence gonzi knew even before the election what JPO was up to, yet he kept him as part of his goverment and even gave him a chairmanship. And he did this just to satisfy the oligarchy’s hunger for power and money, as we now know. REMEMBER WHAT EFA ONCE SAID’ DAK LI JKUN JAF B KORRUZJONI U MA JIGGILIDIX IKUN KOMPLICI ‘ i hope that answers your question.

Alfred Snot
Posted at 19:59h, 18 AugustFranco, was the last election not fought primarily on the corruption issue?
Was this not the incredible irony about the last 5 years! Mr Sant had the election in his hands, he was 10 points ahead in the polls, and he had a contract in his hands proving that one of PN’s candidates and MP’s was abusing his position to get a permit where anyone else would not even bother trying, since technically it was impossible.
The fact that Mr. Sant managed to lose while holding all the cards is his failing.
As for Gonzi, at least he effectively blacklisted JPOS because of his behavior, and he did this against his interests, since he only had a 1 seat majority. It would have been easy for Gonzi to make JPOS a minister and let him run riot in a ministry so long as he got his support in parliament.
Do you think I have a point?
Mar iz-zijju bil van tal Gabina
Posted at 22:27h, 18 AugustAlfred Snot I think you are right, if Dr. Sant debated and confronted a posing journalist named JPO in that press conference and did not walk out as ill advised by some dim twit, we would not be in this wretched situation as we are today. Dr. Sant was too honest and I am afraid in the political arena a leader has to be ever so shrewd. Dr. Sant took everything by the book , and that is not the way any political adversary acts. Once bitten by Dr. Fenech Adami on the eve of 2003 general election , twice shy. Everyone on the PL side thought Dr. Sant would reveal the Mistra contract in detail of who was implicated and to what extent at that press conference, in fact even Joseph Muscat a few days prior hinted a smell of stench is going to be surfacing, but it never materialized. What on earth made Dr. Sant avert till today I still cannot comprehend.

Posted at 06:34h, 20 AugustI knew and understood corruption under the P.N. where orphans from Lourdes Home have been robbed of the little they had that could have made them great Maltese citizens. Taking money from=m a fund that was given to orphans from Lourdes Home when it was time where they had to leave and start a new life. Only a handful of these grown children has access to this money the rest was taken.
And I regret to say that nothing was done about it!
