The prime minister has now ordered all ministers to each refund €19,000 in additional salary payments.

Will this amount go back into each ministry’s funds? If so, for which year? This is certainly a right old mess, is it not?

He also said that MPs’ pay increases will not be granted until they are approved by the House Parliamentary Affairs Committee. And if this is not granted MPs will get nothing. However, will ministers get their increases?

How can the Prime Minister get into such a mess? Since March 2008 he has committed quite a few gaffes but this one takes the biscuit.

If the people of Malta stand for this shame then they deserve all they get from an insensitive group of people that think of nothing but themselves.
