Next in line should be the health sector.

Is this the same Godwin Grima who tried to deflect Rita Schembri's alleged irregularities by asking the NAO rather than the PSC to investigate her?

Under Godwin Grima as PPS great pains were inflicted on many honest and dedicated workers who were denied well-merited promotions. This gentleman certainly owes an explanation for the large number of top positions in the civil administration that were given on a purely partisan basis. These include the granting of promotions at headship level to persons from outside the service, which was an unprecedented move from which individuals who were close allies of a minister have benefitted. There were even particular instances where persons in a lower scale than that required for one to apply for a Director’s position had been given the opportunity to apply just the same. As a result the nephew of the Minister’s Personal Secretary could apply for the position and even get it. Prof Godfrey Laferla and particular others were consistently appointed on selection boards of the Department of Health according to the ex Health Minister’s wishes and it was a board under his chairmanship that gave the appointment of Medical Consultants to four individuals who were not even qualified to apply for this post. One of these four happened to be the husband of the ex-Education Minister’s daughter. This was certainly not a one-off case. In fact, under Ex Minister Cassar the Health Department consistently appointed nationalist diehards on selection boards who in turn would give top placings to applicants who sympathized with the Nationalist Party even when these were the least experienced and qualified. A glaring example is that concerning two promotions given over a span of year’s time to a particular health official who contested the last European Parliamentary Elections with the Nationalist Party, to the detriment of very much more qualified and experienced candidates. Here one rightly expects a full and impartial investigation to be carried out into such flagrant abuse of power with resultant grave injustices in promotions given in the public service.

I believe the police should seriously investigate Godwin Grima for any culpability in the whole process. Orders must have been given right from above and he was the head and person responsible for the Civil Service.

The theme thickens a little more with corruption. Where does it stop. This is only the tip of the iceberg because if the Government really takes these irregularities in all Government Departments more seriously, only God knows what they would discover and that is starting from the top down. That is why it is of the utmost of urgency that the Parliament enacts the "WHISTLE BLOWER LAW". The government has an obligation to find out who is behind these scandals in this country, and believe me there are a lot of them, some not even thought of yet.. We need the Whistle Blower Act in place so nobody has the fear of reprisal anything to worry about. I wonder very suspiciously why it is taking the Government and the Parliament so long to put this law in place. Malta needs to clean out the the corruption and the crime and start keeping a clean slate and not protect the guilty. Start with our incompetent corrupt Justice System. We need transparency and that has to start from the top. We have to change some of our archaic laws and stop using politics in everything we do. Yes it will be a big change, but it can be done. The Maltese citizens are calling for such a change that is why they voted PL in the last election. We are asking for help, so please help us rid of this corrupt system we got so accustomed too.
