Updated; Labour warns that people will be replaced if they are not qualified for top jobs
Updated - Adds PN reaction - People in government agencies who did not deserve and were not qualified to hold top posts would be replaced by suitably-qualified personnel in a new Labour Government, Opposition spokesperson on public administration, Helena Dalli, said today.
This, she said, would happen by non-renewal of contracts and redeployment.
Speaking at a press conference and often referring to the situation at the Malta Transport Authority, Mrs Dalli said Labour would continue to insist on merit in appointments, and the government should conduct an audit of the competence and qualifications of those holding top posts at the Transport Authority and other agencies.
She said that a number of employees had been unjustly removed from their posts and left for weeks on end in offices doing nothing, in what amounted to psychological violence.
Replying to questions, she was unable to say how many such people were involved, but said that political allegiance was often a factor in their predicament.
In contrast, she said, there were some employees who had been promoted twice in three months.
Others were receiving responsibility allowances which they did not deserve. Such allowances could amount to €630 per month.
A Labour government would work to rectify injustices, she said, through the redeployment of people according to their qualifications. Those who held posts for which they were not qualified may not have their contracts renewed.
She also said that a new watchdog system will be created to monitor new appointments.
PN REACTION
In a statement, the Nationalist Party said Mrs Dalli had revealed what Joseph Muscat was planning should he become prime minister.
It was clear that if he was in power, Dr Muscat would ‘make heads roll’ but he was keeping silent about his plans.
The PN noted that when Mrs Dalli was a parliamentary secretary in the Sant government, that government was found guilty of political discrimination against Angela Callus, who in 1998 was not reappointed Director of the Department for Women’s Equality. Renee’ Laiviera, who used to advise the Labour Party on women’s rights, was appointed instead.
The PN noted that Mrs Dalli’s declaration followed on that by Gino Cauchi who had said that the PL was speaking to people who wished to work at PBS when Labour was in government.
This was confirmation that the PL had not changed, the PN said.

We knew that this is going to happen, because we were told so by the same person before the election.

Let us hope that "not qualified" will not be synonymous with being of a different political orientation than the ruling party.

Isn't Mrs Dalli stating the obvious and projecting the realistic truth to the media - this will obviously happen under a Labour government to.
So - whats all the fuss about !! Its reality. Maybe you should just accept it - coz you cant do anything about it unless your a politician.

@Joseph E. Briffa,
Short memory! Forgot the statement made by Austin way back somewhere between 2005/07 saying that the government and the ministers have every right and in fact it's a must to appoint persons of the same political views as the government's? So what's wrong with Helena's statement "people will be replaced if not qualified for top jobs"? at least 'qualified' not 'political views'

Dr Dalli is right. Promotions in the Government service are not given on meritocracy. A glaring example is that where two top nursing promotions were given in a year to the least qualified candidate who however contested the last European Parliamentary Elections with the PN. On the other hand Denis Tanti who placed first from among 16 candidates was not given the post of Executive Secretary. Shame

Are we surprised by lejber? nooo we are not surprised lejber remained lejber and they are only qualified to do such so we are not surprised and that is one of the reasons that he is keeping silent because he has no plans only pushing in lejber faithfull to top jobs whether they are qualified or not.

Oct 26th 2012, 10:29
Hossam HElwani. Don't you remember who had said that the PN government has to work with the people who it can trust, i.e. nationalists ? No mention of meritocracy was made. His name was Austin Gatt ! Dr. Muscat is saying that merit will be the yardstick used to appoint people in responsible positions. And they will be made accountable too !

Oct 25th 2012, 23:08
Edward caruana Galizia: Obviously you have not experinced what it is like to be denied promotion because of your political views. I have experienced this discrimination and psychological violence for 6 years under a PN government. And I have a court sentence to prove it. Thousands of labourites have suffered a similar fate. Even genuine nationalists have ended discriminated under GonziPN !
Eddy Privitera
Oct 25th 2012, 22:03
Edward Caruana Galizia: That is why GonziPN uses the interviews, so that if there is someone more qualified and even more experienced for the job, they used the interview to place teir GonziPN pick on top by giving him/her most points while the more qualified and experienced person ends up down the list. Shame !

The PN's reaction reveals the reason why they have filled all possible top posts by their own GonziPN acolytes, thus hoping to keep hold of the adninistration of our country despite the fact that GonziPn may be in opposition in parliament. Many such appointments were not based on meritocracy but on nepotism !

The gentle lady is so versed in meritocracy that she found nothing wrong with her husband being handpicked for a secret middle east business trip some years back. Moreover similar threats were recently levelled at PBS staff by the broadcasting guru Cauchi.
The only one excused is Jason Micallef. I'm sure he's pretty annoyed

Actually what is more disturbing is this idea of some sort of watch dog system. What a bad idea.
Also, some people may not be more qualified, but still better suited for a job. It happens all the time around the world. Best person for the job gets it. A grade at school doesn't mean you have the character for the job.
Peter Murray
Oct 25th 2012, 18:19
But character doesn't have a grade so how will prospective employers know?What do you suggest are guiding principles therefore to establish and determine who is "better suited for the job"?How did you obtain your job -by the employer recognising you were "better suited" than a more qualified applicant perhaps?This designation-application claim of yours is impractical and totally implausible
Mr Edward Caruana Galizia
Oct 25th 2012, 18:38
Silly me, I thought all employers interview people before employing them to see what they are like, if they will reflect the company's image and ethos, and if they are able to answer tough questions and that employers contact the references to ask for second opinions.
I guess in the PL's world, a CV is all it takes,regardless of whether or not that CV reflects how that person really is.

"Replying to questions, she was unable to say how many such people were involved, but said that political allegiance was often a factor in their predicament." I think this translates into " I don't know anyone because we've made this all up to fuel the popular hysteria and lies, but I really want to drive home the idea that Labour will be for Labourites only.
Who is not qualified Mrs Dalli?
A Caruana
Oct 25th 2012, 17:35
If on qualifications, meritocracy and a democratic choice then yes by all means. If on the other hand people are chosen because they support PL then we are back to square 1 no? They should start by making a qualifications analysis of all employees and audit the posts they are in if compatible with their qualifications. There are many people who have become managers and Director without a degree.
Mr Edward Caruana Galizia
Oct 25th 2012, 17:58
A degree does not mean you have brains. Look at some of the people who leave university in Malta. They can't even write properly. There is also experience and character that influences an employer's decision along with things like work ethic, problem solving abilities and creativity. These things cannot be measured.

@ J P Fava - Meritocracy and MLP/PL in the same sentence? A classic oxymoron. Iddaħħaqniex! Who do you think you're kidding? In the M:P/PL lexicon, meritocracy = MLP/PL affiliation. Refer to Jason Micallef's remark, ""Ħa nkunu gvern tal-laburisti". That remark combined with MS. Dalli's announcement are ominous. We have been warned - make way for the MLP/PL of the 1970s and 1980s.

Would they be what they were during the regimes of Dom Mintoff, Karmenu Mifsud-Bonnici, and Alfred Sant - i. e. blind loyalty to the MLP/PL and/or being "minn ta' gewwa tal-MLP/PL"? - Insejtu dak li ghamiltu intom? ► Part 2

We already live in a Meritocracy. She is talking about setting up a system which will judge who is best for a job and who isn't regardless of what the employer thinks of the employee's character, work ethic, stamina, creativity and aptitude. A system that can easily have it's own political agenda.

A Vella
Oct 25th 2012, 17:28
Because "qualified" is very hard to quantify. And can only be quantified after the appointment. This is just a smoke screen and a signal to all those being promised heaven on earth that LP means business in their vote catching strategy. Then once there who cares how the country will perform!

To all the people criticising the statement made by Mrs Dalli by trying to play dumb and pretend they do not know what 'qualified for the job' means, here is a perfect example of what she means;
http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120724/local/Unqualified-to-be-consultants.429873
People who are questioning what 'qualifications' are in 2012 should really educate themselves a little...
George Attard
Oct 25th 2012, 14:49

People like yourself have hate in their words. You want to see a divided people. Shame!You should base your assessments on the administration of the last quarter of a century. Many top managers are being paid big money ( from the taxes we pay) to hold positions for which they are not qualified. Dr. Dalli said that this will be rectified for better administration and for the good of the country.
Jean Pierre Fava
Oct 25th 2012, 14:09

Ours is really a strange country. The PN has been in government for 25 years appointing 'its' darlings to alll top jobs and chairmanships. Meritocracy has been thrown to the dogs. Dr Dalli, rightly so, proposes a new system where meritocracy and not party affiliation is to be considered for appointment and the hounds of GonziPN are unleashed to devour her.....
J Martinelli
Oct 25th 2012, 15:54
Where did 'meritocracy' go in the 70s, 80s and briefly in the 90s?
I have been trying to find ONE appointment of a known Nationalist during Socialist administrations. I don't mean lower jobs, I mean important positions of some influence.
Mr (not Dr) Dalli would be most unwise to make much of meritocracy because some of his friends would fall flat on their faces.
Pierre Vassallo
Oct 25th 2012, 14:09
There goes another alarm bell following the Mintoffian economics and the wage freeze ones. Going to the polling booth will be like entering a time machine. A choice between going to the past (MLP) or the future (PN).
Joseph E Briffa
Oct 25th 2012, 14:08
Disgruntled nationalists should open their eyes wide and realise that life is full of disappointments; there are the small ones and the not so small. One has to look at the whole picture though, compare the PN administrations and the Labour ones of the 70s and 80s. If they want a repeat of the golden days they should refrain from voting or vote Labour. The mistake of 1971 meant hell for Malta.

In the 70's Mintoff put Albert Mizzi in charge of AirMalta and in the 70's he appointed the Late Pres. Emeritus Sir Anthony Joseph Mamo as first, the one and only Maltese person as Governor General following Sir Maurice Henry Dorman (British) (71/72) and later as the first President of the Republic of Malta (72/74). Were they were Labourites? But both were qualified and had the credentials.
Joseph E Briffa
Oct 25th 2012, 16:43
@Mario..those were exceptions. Just mention the long list of heads of departments who were mediocre at best and still were appointed because of their political colour; this meant they had to be carried by their deputies who were passed over because of their political beliefs.This also happened in the case of the armed forces as well as in parastatal bodies. Some meritocracy.

Another PL policy revealed. They will clear the ranks of the Public Service and appoint their own young lackeys all over the place citing lack of qualification as their excuse.

Dr. Dalli's comments reflect the need to rectify mismanagement within the public administration, government entities and agencies and giving due respect to tax payers' money. This can never be achieved if appointments are solely based on loyalty rather than competence in the particular sectors for which the respective Departments and entities are responsible.

The problem is that this watch dog system can easily have it's own agenda and can fiddle around with people's jobs and careers regardless of their aptitude for the job. This sounds less like promoting meritocracy and more like a threat to Nationalist supporters as far as I am concerned.

Many people of the older generation are not qualified simply because access to education was not possible in the past (due to Labour Government having been in place).
Today, these have extensive experience and are just as capable of holding the position they currently hold.
Is labour proposing these be replaced by more qualified new graduates who have no experience?

Heads should automatically resign in a change of Government. That is professional etiquette. Being qualified means having commensurate academic qualifications and the necessary experience. This is a primary school explanation but is necessary for the deadbeat comments from the "here we go - it's Labour again brigade". Apologies to the rest who actually have a brain and use it.

Oct 25th 2012, 15:06
Right - heads do automatically resign in a change of government, however, that does not mean that if the person concerned was qualified and did his/her job well he/she should not be retained in that position unless he/she is a hard-liner well known for party affiliations. Many well known Labourites were kept in their position during PN governments - maybe it is also a matter of trust.

Helena Dalli, said today that those people in government agencies who did not deserve and were not qualified to hold top posts would be replaced by suitably-qualified personnel. Really???? Now that is interesting........LOLOL!!! J'alla, J'alla.........!!!!!!

' She said that a number of employees had been unjustly removed from their posts and left for weeks on end in offices doing nothing, in what amounted to psychological violence '
SUCH PEOPLE HAVE THE MEANS TO PRESENT THEIR CASE TO THE iNJUSTICES cOMMISSION.
What are the requisitesand the criteria to be used to call a person 'QUALIFIED'

In other words lejber is going to fire some people (or transfer them to other offices) in order to make space for those with better qualifications - i.e. - voted lejber in the election!! nice one!! I wish to say I never saw that one coming ... but to be honest I saw it coming from before the last election!!

We can suppose that all this translates as follows:
A new Labour government will demote PN sympathisers and promote its supporters in government agencies.

Don't put words in Ms Dalli's mouth.
Nothing of the sort it is only a thought that you have been living with for the last 25 years as it is the normal practice with gonzipn/PN

No it's just their usual stupidity. But thank God they made it known to us beforehand.

This is a step in the right direction. Many people in Malta should be removed from thier job, they simply got promoted becuase of thier color, this includes people in MEPA and other Departments.
Good Job Mrs Dalli Malta needs more people that come out and speak the truth, to much corruption under the PN.

That's the way to go. Replace nepotism by meritocracy and you'll solve most of Malta's ailing problems. So many people have had it too good for too long and undeservedly so. i naturally hope that the present malignant practise of checking one's political affiliations when considering applications will be finally done away with.

Tippruvax titfa il-metodi ta GonziPN fuq il-PL. Kulhadd jaf kif jittiehdu hafna mil posts mal-gvern, specjalment top posts taht GonziPN (kaz recenti huwa tar-ragel tat-tifla tal-Ministru Cristina). U jekk filkaz infakkrek fi transfers li saru wara 1987 u wara 1998. Il-babaw huwa biss ghal dawk li hadu post haddiehor minghajr ma kien haqqhom. Forsi int fosthom...filkaz hemm l-ETC

2 Political colour
3 Friends
4 Friends of Friends
5 Submissiveness
6 others !
Donna Parnis
Oct 25th 2012, 13:05
Thats the qualifications you need under the PN government, Labour is stating they will do away with these qualifications and people will get positions by their experience and proper qualifications, Which is the correct way to do it, not like Gonzi who puts people in top jobs because they are part of his little band of yes men/women, Just take a look at what we have in parliament,

Nahseb qed ithallat il-PN mal-PL sur Borg.
Ghax meta kien haqni post bil-kwalifici li ghandhom x'jaqsmu mal-edukazzjoni, kont gejt mitluba dawn l-affarijiet taht dan il-Gvern. Imbaghad minflok hadt il-post jien il-post ittiehed minn persuna li l-familjari taghha kumbinazzjoni kienu attivi sew fil-PN. Imma jien ma kelli l-hadd.

u by the way..... kien hemm Nazzjonalisti genwini li ma felhux jaraw x'gara u qaluli x'kelli naghmel. Fosthom immur id-dar centrali nkellem lil Margerite biex tirrangali, apparti min hemm Margerite kienet qaltli ghamel il-membership u nhallilha l-mobile number. Ftit wara meta staqsejt kif ser nibqa kienu staqsewni xi hbieb ghandi. imma ma kelli l-hadd. Dawk huma l-kwalifiki li gejt mitluba SABIH.

I am not a Labour Party supporter, nor have I ever voted Labour... However I agree 110% with Mrs. Dalli ...i will be staying home in the next election, as corruption and friends of friends getting government jobs really hurts me. Moreover knowing that I am more qualified then they are.
I feel the PN needs to do some home work, and truly doesn't deserve an other term in government.

Jekk fhimt il-kliem sew, Hon Dalli qeghda thid li hemm min mhux ikkwalificat ghal promotions li ha dawn l'ahhar snin. Pero jekk tahseb li ha taghmel xi differenza ghax ma ggibx tessera tal-PL ukoll, hames euro biss tiswa.
