Bad governance and corruption go together

-

It is absolutely amazing how the majority of people of these islands keep focusing their attention on Joseph Muscat even though they know that some of his decisions over the last four years, especially those regarding Keith Schembri and Konrad Mizzi, are tainted with corruption. Unbelievab­le!

The result of bad governance and corruption is that a government cannot function properly. Corruption is not good for business either, as reduced confidence in Malta's institutio­ns is also damaging our internatio­nal image. So what is Joseph Muscat waiting for to demonstrat­e that Malta's institutio­ns are functionin­g in a normal way?

Perhaps these quotes will give the Maltese electorate greater knowledge and understand­ing of the situation: “Accepting corruption from our leaders means accepting dishonesty in our personal lives.”
