Għal malta ġusta, moderna
B’Saħħitha u sabiħa
Malta miexja lejn rebbiegħa ġdida fejn jeħtieġ li int tkun protagonist.
Lejn futur fejn il-komunitajiet huma vibranti u mhux depressi, awtentiċi u mhux bla ruħ. Fejn ix-xogħol iġib flus tajba filwaqt li jinċentiva liż-żgħażagħ tagħna jsebbħu ’l pajjiż.
Għaddejjin minn żmien ikrah u tad-dwejjaq.
Però, minkejja l-ħafna rabja u frustrazzjoni li ximindaqqiet nesprimi, minix irrassenjat. Lanqas ftit.
L-Ewropa tista’ tgħin ħafna biex Malta tisbieħ. Jien li għamilt sitt snin Segretarju Ġenerali tat-tielet l-ikbar partit fil-Parlament Ewropew naf ħafna dwar kif u xiex irridu nagħmlu biex naslu.
Żmien il-politika tas-soltu spiċċa. Ħu t-tmun f’idejk!

Zammit Tabona's Fortina was being leaked valuations by Lands Authority Keith Schembri abused of his role of OPM Chief of Staff and convened meeting with Fortina first to discuss its valuation and then to authorise the settlement of the invoices.In October/November 2018 Prime Minister Joseph Muscat had a meeting with Fortina and his Chief of Staff to "push for progress" on the Fortina application.Why did Joseph Muscat himself get involved in the talks to speed up Fortina's interests to the detriment of the Maltese taxpayer? Kumbinazzjoni, 17 months later, in April 2020, Joseph Muscat received the first of three different payments for supposed professional works from Fortina Investments of Zammit Tabona. Something less than 20,000 euro for 3 months.Kollox mahdum bizzilla? ... See MoreSee Less

The NAO investigation report, asked by Cassola's Momentum, just tabled in parliament has confirmed us right. The investigation reveals:a. Zammit Tabona's Fortina was being leaked valuations by Lands Authority. Nao writes: "No reasonable explanation was put forward by either the Lands Authority or Fortina as to how a sensitive document, meant to be accessible solely to the former, ended up in the possession of the latter, raising serious concerns regarding the transparency of the process and the integrity of those involved".b. NAO concluded that the Government accepted €8.1 million for waivers that the NAO independently valued at €21 million, representing a detriment to public finances of €12.9 million.c. "Furthermore, a critical, substantially higher valuation report by an independent audit firm, commissioned by the Lands Authority's Board of Governors (BoG), was deliberately suppressed by the then Chair of the BoG".d, "Chief of Staff's Involvement: The Chief of Staff OPM, Keith Schembri, "convened a meeting with the firm" to discuss its valuation and later "authorised the settlement of the invoices."● The NAO found this involvement "anomalous and questionable" as "there was no functional link between the role of the Chief of Staff OPM and the settlement of fees due by the Lands Authority."e. Prime Minister Joseph Muscat's Involvement: The Prime Minister recalled a meeting with Fortina and his Chief of Staff around October/November 2018 to "push for progress" due to Fortina's project stalling and the involvement of a major gaming company relocating to Malta".Momentum insists: "Apart from the non-transparent behaviour of the Lands Authority, it is scandalous that Prime Minister Joseph Muscat himself got involved in the talks to speed up Fortina's interests, to the detriment of the Maltese taxpayer, and that his Chief of Staff, Keith Schembri, also convened meetings which he had no authority to convene or attend.Muscat and Schembri should be investigated for their non transparent manoeuvres to favour Fortina, whose owner is a major PL donor". ...

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Alex Borg has now started putting flesh to his proposals.He has stated that he will give his MPs freedom of vote on an eventual abortion vote. Good that, like Momentum, he has taken this stance.He today then stated that he is in favour of spring hunting. I am in total disagreement. Alex Borg prefers joining Labour on this. Animal welfare and bird nesting is thrown to the wind.Also today, asked by Albert Gauci Cunningham, Alex Borg dismissed the moratorium on the issuing of short let licences in Swieqi, as proposed by Momentum and the Swieqi Local Council, saying the real issue is enforcement.Tajjeb ukoll, with already an enormous number of short let beds licensed in Swieqi residential town (370 licensed flats and who knows how many unlicensed) and hundreds more on the way, the PN leader shoots down the proposal by the Local Council.Ergo, more sleepless nights for the residents and more rubbish bags on the wrong days to deal with.While Alex Borg opts for the status quo in Swieqi, Momentum and I stand with the local community. ...
