Isn’t it amazing? We have a Cabinet of ministers who never shoulder any responsibility for any misdeeds committed in their own ministry, sometimes even by themselves.

The latest, very grave illegal disposal of poisonous Mercaptan gas at Mġarr in 2009, clearly proves this. The present minister responsible for Enemalta, Tonio Fenech, has brushed away responsibility saying that the minister responsible at the time the incident took place was minister Austin Gatt. Even though it transpires that Mr Fenech had given incorrect information about this incident in parliament!

But the government also said that even Minister Gatt bears no responsibility because he was not informed about the disposal of Mercaptan! So where does the buck stop with GonziPN ministers? It stops nowhere, since no minister has ever accepted responsibility and resigned.
