Former PN candidate Georg Sapiano
Former Nationalist candidate Georg Sapiano is set to pocket a total of €100,000 by 2015 after having his contract with state-owned company Kordin Grain Terminal extended.
Sunday newspaper Illum reports how Sapiano will receive around €15,000 and €18,000 annually in legal services in the next two years.
Sapiano’s contract with Kordin Grain Terminal was struck in September 2008 and extended in January 2012.
It is thought that clauses in the contract heavily penalize the new government should it decide to rescind the contract.
The former Nationalist candidate already received close to €1 million in contracts littered with controversy as the majority of these contracts – most notably the €330,000 contract Sapiano had received from Transport Malta over the design of Arriva’s routes - were awarded by direct orders rather than tenders.
In the past, Illum had revealed that officials within the Transport Ministry did not find any evidence that the former PN candidate won a single tender, despite the fact he had received over €500,000 in contracts from this ministry alone.

Surely if these contracts were awarded by direct appointment and not through going through the legal way of putting in tenders and winning then cant they be classed as illegal? seems there is much more to this than meets the eye.

According to your report,Sapiano's firm will be receiving around €15,000 and €18,000 annually in legal services in the next two years. How then would €15,000 or €18,000 annually in the next two years add up to €100,000. Wonder of wonders!

another Pn legacy .This contract if terminated would cost the present gov hundreds of thousands thanks to clause in contract gifted by the previous regime.PN WHAT A MAFIA !

"€330,000 contract Sapiano had received from Transport Malta over the design of Arriva’s routes" What was TM thinking? So we are to understand that Sapiano's firm got paid €330,000 for the route structure which almost paralyzed the Public Transport in Malta? What a bunch of incompetent people we have working at TM? I suppose that Sapiano does not offer a refund for the mess he created with the routes. Of course not. And that is how the government squanders the TAX Payers Money my friends.

SLEAZE, SLEAZE and EVEN MORE SLEAZE. PM JOSEPH MUSCAT you have to do something about all of this. Give Owen Bonnici and Edward Scicluna all the muscle they need no matter the cost. Do not worry about the cost, just go after all that was stolen in past years and fund these extra expenses from there. I am sure you will finish in a huge surplus.

Xejn ma hadu dawn in-nies? Nispera li Joseph Muscat hekk jaghmel issa. Ghal 25 sena li gejjin kollox ghall Laburisti, inkella il-Laburisti dejjem min taht sejrin jibqaw. X'gharukaza ta Gvern Nazzjonalsita, x'gharukasa ta parti.
