The appointments we have seen put politics over any form of expertise or qualification. Meritocracy? BAREFACED LIES from the authors of Malta Taghna Lkoll!

Why mention the fact that TALENTED TV PRODUCER ,Frederick Testa - formed part of Labour's electoral campaign when he truly merits and is most valid to be a Board Member of the MCCA? Why no adjective or "STAMP" on the other Board Members? REST ASSURED that supporters of the LABOUR MOVEMENT are not an inferior lot and MERIT to be appointed on such positions! Ghandna dritt li jkunu "TAGHNA WKOLL" u mhux taghhom biss!
