PN motion to impeach Sliema mayor hamstrung by missing signature: 'PN councillor is on my side' - Nikki Dimech

J Gonzi always introduces herself as a relative of Gonzi, to be precise she says that her husband, hence her surname, is the PM's cousin.. Re the motion put forward by her to oust Buhagiar, this can be seen/downloaded on the council website as the minutes of all meetings are public documents...She put it forward and all the others agreed to it, except Sandra who abstained and Nikki who was not present. As for Nikki, he has signed 2 statements, the first of about 4 pages at 12:58 and a second one of 2 pages at 15:55...I am sure Mr Gafa can confirm as the time is written on the statements. As for the IAID I would like to point out that it is the whole council that is under investigation, not just Nikki. Hope you get answers for the rest :)

Hi Mr. Borg THE FAIRY TAIL - I thank for some answers which you have passed to me - these answers concerns the close friendship between ARRIGO & BUHAGIAR but I am expecting more answers to my questions laid down and with kind permission of Malta-today. I need to know more about some questions I have submitted - GONZI ARE A RELATIVE OR NOT? - Gonzi do you confirm putting up the motion to oust Buhagiar? And if yes would you consider him a reliable person? Whose recommendation did you obey to oust him out? because for sure to put a motion like this there must have been dialogue- As for Mr.Gafa did N.D sign another declaration before the last which confirmed his admissions of Kickbacks? Where you aware that N.D at the time you locked him up - was under investigation by IADA? or did you take matters in your hand and solicited a GESTAPO tactic? Mr. Gonzi will you in the name of the P.N. apologise to an honest 64 years old Ms.Camilleri - for how your dear P.B.O handled matters with her at Lady Di ? Kumitat Anzjani partit Nazjonalista fejn inthom? Hopefully it will not happen to Mr.Chuschieri also after his declaration to Malta-Today - Slowly slowly this Saga is being untangled and for sure the truth will come out - BUT still I need to know more so I beg anyone who can answer me the questions I have put forward on my yesterday's comment here on Malta-today.

Stephen Buhagiar had been employed with Robert Arrigo as personal chauffeur for quite a long time, and served as canvaser in various elections. Late 2009 he informed ND that he had fallen out with Arrigo and was jobless and needed to work to maintain his family, knowing that there was a post as contract's manager within the council, for which he applied. The councillors voted for him and he was employed at the council. Reports started coming in about him as he was seen several times still driving Arrigo around and also working with another government employee, on personal maintenance works etc and all this was happening during the hours he was supposed to be servicing the council. Even photos were submitted as evidence. In March, deputy Mayor Gonzi put forward a motion to dismiss Buhagiar in view of his dishonesty and the councillors voted 9-1 in favour of this motion. ND was not present for this meeting. Later Buhagiar accompanied by Arrigo visited ND and expected him to give Buhagiar the job back, but ND explained it was not possible because it is a collective decision and because after what he did there was no way that he would get a favourable vote. Buhagiar took things personally and vowed that he would pay him back. He was heard telling people that he wanted to bring him down on his knees earning 50 a week in benefits. 6 months later, i.e. a few weeks ago, he made a statement with the police saying that ND had requested a 5-10% commission on his wage which he refused. This is the statement ND was questioned about...it is no contractor as is being reported by certain media. PBO, the morning after the questioning, summoned the councillors to sign a motion to remove Dimech based on an allegation from a person that the same councillors dismissed!!! Since Sandra Camilleri was absent he harrassed her telephonically until she had to agree to meet him, hence the show he made at the Lady Di Pub, and which resulted in Sandra's resignation from the party due to the way she was treated. The motion is signed by 5 not 6...as Patrick Pace is abroad - not as is being reported. Even Joanna Gonzi was absent during the council meeting, infact the motion is dated 12th August and was premeditated...as it was signed only hours after ND was question, and thus just based on an article which appeared in a local paper. Hope I have answered a few questions :)

Could someone help me understand - so this Stephen Buhagiar was ousted from working for the Sliema Council (right) And as I understood all councillors voted to oust him out (right) It is only fair that we got to really know why he was sent out. (Answer) Was he working for Mr ROBERT ARRIGO before working at the Council? (Answer) Mr. Arrigo should know why he was thrown out (answer) and if this is the case there must have been a reason(can someone tell us can he help us as I understand Mr.Buhagiar was one of his leading General Election Canvasser’s what actually happened and why he was voted out?) – Maybe now if we can get some answers we will be able to understand all of what really happened weather this is a worst Frame-up than that of Peter Paul. Six months after Mr. Buhagiar decided to go to the police and place accusations against Nikki Dimech – (now this already smells) - but why did the police take such Action whilst still there was nothing official from an independent Gov Board- and if so who has sent Mr. Buhagiar to put these accusations to the police???????? Is Joanna Gonzi a relative of the Prime Minister??? How come yesterday she was absent from the Council meeting when such an important matter was being discussed and her name being mentioned as a future Mayor!!!! How come? Can all the councillors tell us why they suddenly believe what this Stephen Buhagiar is claiming against N.D? Can we take them seriously if they vote in favour of an impeachment? Are they going to take this responsibility or will they follow orders and do as asked by PBO OR THE PN? In what way N.D was interrogated at he Police force for him to sign Guilty? And locked up a second time.. two floors down as mentioned by the media – Mr. Gaffa first thing you must understand that the Maltese revolted against the Inquisitors time cause all that mattered during that period is to force a Blame on the accused. If they do than we can say that we have regressed back to what used to happen during the Times of Lorry Sant and IL- FUSELLU - I mean even if N.D. is guilty of mishandling business at the Council for sure this is not the way to handle the issue. You are not the Law to condemn a person neither should you let any rules laid down by our Party be described as oriented during the Fascist regime in Italy. No we shall not let this happen - Dear Mr. GONZI wake up and look around you -don’t transport us back in time to the miserable old days of Socialist reign of the 70’s and the 80’s - how can you just ignore the way they have treated Ms Sandra Camilleri at Lady DI !!! Speak up! We want to hear your voice or else you will be Guilty for opening up the way to revengeful political retaliation as in the recent past whether you will remain or not in Government. G. Diacono

[“The PN acted consistently with its values of honesty, justice and correctness] Are these guys serious?? PN in the same sentence as "honesty, justice and correctness"?? Honesty as in Terinu? Justice as in Zeppi? Correctness as in Bahrija and Arsenal football games?? Have they no shame?? Cyrus and his gang are worse than puppets on strings......

@ Valerio Of course I can imagine his reaction...he must have realised that he had been pulled into this backstabbing coalition and woke up to the facts. He was probably not aware of what was going on...once they got his signature they did not need to involve or inform him. I know the man to be a man of good moral and respectful and straight in his decisions. People who know him were amazed at the fact that he signed a motion based on an accusation put forward by a dishonest individual (i.e. Stephen Buhagiar) which he himself had voted for his dismissal in March... It does not make sense that you sack someone for dishonest behaviour and then believe a sentence he makes 6 months later and for which you have no proof. Poor Mr Cuschieri...lets just hope he is man enough to stand up for his beliefs once he is discovering the truth.

You should have seen Mr.Cushcieri's reaction in yesterday's local council, he was like he's under depration. Who knows why? Do you think he was threatned aswell? maltatoday if you have can get any footage of yesterday's council meeting, would you please show it to us, especially where Councillor Edward Cuschcieri is shown. These people doesn't give up.
