Property Division removes road widened illegally by government workers
Workers from the Government Property Division this morning started digging up and removing a secondary road in Ghajnsielem which government workers in 2006 widened and extended onto public land without the required permits.
Informed sources said the action was taken after MEPA had served the Commissioner of Land with an enforcement notice. It transpired that the commissioner himself had not authorised the extension of the road.
The works in 2006 were carried out by the Projects and Development Department of the Ministry for Gozo, which will now be billed by the division for the restoration of the area.

So let's say you are right and Labourites are still managing the Public Work Department harming other workers and taking bad decisions.
So where are the Par Idejn Sodi??!!!
Iddahakniex Karl!
Hip Hip Hurrah! Hip Hip Hurrah! Hip, Hip, Hurrah!
Now remove your blue glasses and see clearly.
According to your intelligence the present Government is blameless and there is conspiracy by Labourites in the Government sectors.
Wow!
You need a reality check and fast my friend. If you decide to remove your apparent blinkers you will notice that PN have been in the seat of power since 1987. What a cheek to keep blaming all the ills of this country on the MLP!!
The fact is that a Government Department did not abide by the MEPA rules and regulations. Who authorised these works and why? Was there political interference? Were there any ulterior motives? Someone must be held accountable.
Are we supposed to take this in stride. Money coming out of our taxes were thrown to the wind to carry out these works and now to remove them, and I would not be surprised that soon after further public money will be spent to reconstruct it after the necessary permits are obtained.
Don't know about you but I am fed up of paying hard earned money in taxes for this government to simply squander away.
Let's grow up shall we. Prime Minister Gonzi and his cabinet need to come in the clear about this.
I have spoken to may people, some of whom moved from the private over to the public secrtor. The cultural shock that they got was beyond belief. They got shouted at by their own colleagues for working too efficiently and too fast. These are facts which I can personally vouch for. We are still living in the shadows of the past, a substandard performance that keeps on being passed over to future generations. Its a reality that some dont like to hear.
In order to cure yourself one needs to accept the problem, but its seems that its in many people's interest not to accept the problem 'halli nkomplu nikluhielu'.
Tajjeb poplu, komplu halsu la tridu hekk.
WHO'S GONNA PAY???? Us again?????????
pull the other one Karl
And who's paying the bill ?
The answer is always simple .... the tax payer .
Dom Mintoff was in power about 23 years ago. Do you really want us to believe that he planted people there 23 years ago, they in turn climbed the ladder, settling into key positions in order to destabilize the country? Start writing spythrillers!
Anyone who works in Gov today can tell you how some people come in out of nowhere and are fast tracked and promoted into key positions without the necessary education, experience or aptitude for the position. That's what is wrong in this country because "nephews" and yesmen are given preference over the real people who wish to work and provide their country with a service.

Its 3 captains....you forgot the one in Gozo!
In Gozo no one sees no one hears and no one speaks . For example, it is said that the (gozitan) wardens know which cars are "Maltese'.
It must have been an outsider who uncovered this!
John Bundy Branded this island rightly!
Are you serious? U hallina nghixu!!!
So now some department in Giovanna's ministry is going to foot the bill. Obviously those monies are coming out of our taxes.
Oh what a circus - nobody can deny that this is the land of Mickey M.
This is the reality and this is why our country keeps falling behind.
two in malta and one in gozo
is this real life or are we citizens in SimCity???
Confusion worse confounded - and further confusing!
I repeat:- For those who know Gozo, no explanation is necessary. For those who don't, none is possible!
In this case the culprit who gave the go ahead should first be fired as he had no authority to do what he did and then made to pay for it. But then again, hope is eternal.
Good question....Who?
Unless we name and shame nothing will change. The article below comes across as abuse of power....'hbieb tal-hbieb'.
Although they are putting the road to its orgin width, it doesnt solve the problem. Someone needs to be accountable for these decisions and must be asked why they were approved.
The taxpayers deserve an answer.
Who ordered the workers to do the road?
Under new and modern administrations, is nobody responsible? Do no heads roll? Someone, somewhere, must have taken the decision?
Who?
