Cuschieri is well-known for this past activism in the Nationalist Party in the 1980s and 1990s. For years he was the head of security within the PN headquarters and, along with minister Austin Gatt and others, where he founded a section within the party known as ‘tal-Gakketta blu’.
Sister newspaper Illum reports that sources are baffled how government keeps filling strategic posts within inside men, when Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi himself had said in the latest election was he would be insisting on “greater transparency.”
In the electoral manifesto, the PN vowed that “appointments to government boards would be done only following a public call for applications.”
Julia Farrugia is a former editor of Illum newspaper.

Always has been and always will be the PN's way of doing things....it's in their DNA. Compared with other stuff involving ex-police officers, two of whom were convicted of torturing certain Vella brothers, this is mild.
A couple of them involved in "security" contracts, traffic wardens' companies, etc., etc.
The most corrupt administration in Malta's history.

Another case which exposes Gonzi’s inability to do what he claims.
Conclusion; either this Prime Minister is so weak that he is incapable of administrating the country or Gonzi as Muscat claimed is just another liar which would not be surprising considering that he does the opposite of what he claims publicly.

All these appointees must be given the order fo the boot by teh next PL government because they are being planted there for the PN to continue to control everything from the opposition.
