The present Minister for Waste used to also monitor the notorious MEPA in the previous administration. He made a mess of it and was dismissed by Dr Gonzi. I do not intend to bore you with his gaffes, but this one at Dwejra is the epitome of the man's total disregard to and for the environment.
Enter Lawrence Gonzi, come in. Not that he was out, mind you. He used to sanction the Authority's environmental blotches, anyway, at each Cabinet meeting and as its head. The excuse was that Lorry Pullicino was incompetent to handle the monster. So Gonzi apologised to the nation, lest his party would be shown the door at the then upcoming elections.
March, April, May, June and July have gone and passed since then. Five months of GonziMEPA later, and the hideous concrete structure at Dwejra is still upright and annoyingly so. It only takes a day to knock this eyesore down. That is, of course, if one is honest and if one does his work with vigour. Come on Lawrence, show us that you are in charge. Please do not try to explain your lethargy. Just clean the mess up without further ado.
