Labour's former financial administrator may be the new chairman of Gozo Channel Company Ltd after government sources confirmed he was "being considered" for the post.

But in comments to MaltaToday, current chairman Paul Curmi said he was not aware of this decision even though he didn't expect to be consulted on such things.

"Like every other board, we were asked to hand in our resignation and so I offered mine. My post was a political appointment with a term that ends at the end of this month," Curmi told MaltaToday.

Curmi said he augured that whoever is going to replace him understands the importance Gozo Channel plays to the economy of Gozo.

"I hope that the new chairman and whoever is appointed to the board support each other so that Gozo Channel keeps moving forward for the benefit of both the company and Gozo," he said.

Cordina is a good choice. He really knows the needs of the Gozo people. I hope he checks the timetable and does not recall any ship back to pick him up. If he does anyway he can switch sides to the PN as has become custom with the fired ex-chairman.

The least our great movement can do is to afford Mr Joe Cordina this opportunity in atonement at the despicable malicious attack on his reputation by the GONZIPN clique which was routed by the vast majority of our people. Apart from this basic aspect of justice, Mr Cordina has proven to be an effective administrator and financial consultant authorized by MFSA. Tweetybirdie should stop tweeting disgustingly and go and find a birdie at the Marsa Golf Course.

A government of pure Doublespeak. Meritocracy = We reward those who do our bidding. *M*alta *T*aghna *L*koll = *M*alta *T*al-*L*ejber

Political appointees need to be replaced by persons who can be trusted to obey the people's wish for a radical change of direction. Anything less would be a betrayal of the People who elected this Movement to get this Country out of the mess and corruption it had geared itself with 25 years of GONZIPN.

An excellent decision. Mr Joe Cordina deserves the post as Chairman of the Gozo Channel. Everyone knows what he had to go through during the electoral campaign and how he was accused of things that he was not aware of. Being a Gozitan himself the Company would sure prosper under his Chairmanship.
