It is not a question of not being paid for a service but :
1. The law was changed to accomodate BWSC parameters regarding emmissions. Why?
2. An email excists that shows MR Mizzi informing BWSc that higher political heirarchy must be tapped.
3. Commissions for "helping BWSC win the contract," how did Mizzi manage to do this.? By managing to change the emissions law and therefore put BWSC in contention.?
4. Who are the higher heirarchy politicians that needed to be tapped. ?
5. A simple question will the commissions be kept by the individual or does he have a list of "sub-agents" who helped, that need to be paid for their services.

this attitude of PL is rather hypocritical..

i wonder how they expect someone to work for free... reminds me of KMB's times... jew b xejn jew xejn..

funnily enough this was not adopted by the then deputy leader in the sale of pender place.. didn't he get paid for his service? and rightly so i mean.. why should he do it for free...

then next time if you are pushing for better use of public funds, why didn't the PL protest over the 60 million or so given to ex dockyard workers when many of them had already found a job!!!!! of course not.. these are mainly LP supporters.... on the contrary it was the PL and GWU that insisted that these are compensated!!!!!

of course hux.. it is every workers right to be handed thousands because the company was put in liquidation....

I sincerely had high hopes with Joseph as PL leader however, it is showing more and more that he is just a re-incarnation of past leaders...

keep at it this way and you might find more chance to practice your way of doing politics after the next election in the opposition benches

@ Nigel Lawrence

Whatever fee was paid to 'Joe Mizzi' may not appear on his Income Tax return but may on the Income statements of the company he heads.
Secondly, since when an Agent, Sales Rep or call him 'middleman' is expected to provide a service which results into a substantial sale, without compensation?
Thirdly, it's hardly any business of the LP how much commission was paid to Mr. Mizzi. The point is that the selection process declared BWSC as the winning bid and one can count on it that had another company won the contract, a similar, if not higher commission would have been paid. Of course, had such a commission been paid to some foreign person, chances are that the LP would not have had anything to cling to but since it was a fellow Maltese who was compensated, then it became a juicy tit-bit. Raw unadulterated jealousy!

This attitude is of course prevalent within the LP ranks, including young, inexperienced Joseph who never, in their combined whole life ever were involved privately (or when in government) with deals of this magnitude. Instead, they left us with insufficient power, no water, empty shelves...

@ Nigel Lawrence,

The fee was “substantially lower”!

Now this is so open, I hope the tax authorities take note of this €4M on his income tax return.
