I am sorry to hear of the demise of this old man, not because he died but because he suffered before he died. I was hit slightly by a car once and I can say the impact was overwhelming.

Nonetheless I do not think that sensationalising the incident 8 months ago would have made much of a difference to this man. However it would have derailed the sensitive works-in-progress by the Security Service.

In defence of Godfrey Scicluna, had this 90-year-old man been a healthy 25 year-old, the prognosis of injuries in such accident would have been better and not fatal.

As the saying goes: "The operation was a success but the patient died." Very true accidents do happen, but the question remains. Why was this accident kept under wraps for six months? Are we to understand that Mr Scicluna, a man of his position neglected to make a report with the police or was this another cover up by someone in the police department?A take care of your own situation? Just asking.

I see nothing,I hear nothing I know nothing. These words are being used too often recently. Let us take this latest comment by the Commissioner Of Police: he knew nothing about the Head Of Security incident. Does that mean, the police officers who made this report hushed this report? Can the Head Of Security on suspension now, be called to testify in the oil scandal? People start suspecting.

What most of us object to is not that a police officer was involved in a tragic accident. That happens and is very unfortunate when it does. What puzzles many of us is why was it keep under wraps? The most insignificant traffic mishap is reported with regularity by the media. In this instance it was kept from public knowledge for a full 6 months. Why?

This incident actually occurred back in June , 2012 and has been kept under wraps all this time .WHY SO?

He died of natural causes,but those two operations could also have had a negative effect on the poor old man's health.R.I.P.

Once again, thanks to the media something gets done. The PN always reacts after media attention brings up some case of corruption or criminal activity - Mosta PN club comes to mind. It seems that once again, no action was taken until the media uncovered the case. Gonzi needs to explain why.

It has been reported that seems like Mr Scicluna asked the traffic police / warden not to proceed with filing of the accident report. I stand to be corrected but this seems to be the case for his auto suspension.

It was an accident that could happen to any one, So what you are saying is that if i would be involved in an accident i would have to be suspended from work.

Can the Principal Permanent Secretary (as the official responsable for the public service) kindly inform on the provision under which public officers apparently can 'suspend themselves' from the service?

My prayers for the Old mans family. An unfortunate accident which could have happened to anyone. Why all the bad publicity for the Godfrey Scicluna ?

So now taht all the critics with their cynical comments know what happened may hopefully have the face and apologise for irritating readers that this was politically motivated.
