Auditor raps Pullicino for €1.2m direct order spend

Matthew Vella

The Ministry for Resources and Rural Affairs is claiming it has respected procurement laws in spite of a scathing report by the Auditor General, which says George Pullicino’s ministry issued over €1.2 million in direct orders and consultancies that were not covered by agreements and that “procurement rules were not adhered to in the award of the contract.” >>

Film Review:
By Teodor Reljic

She’s a mean, mean girl

Picking up the pieces

Undead funny

Blue moon, I saw you standing alone

Historical flashpoints

It’s a long way up

An evolution in grief

The hazards of love

I’m not there

From rags to…?

The flakes and the fury

Good forecast for gluttons

Aliens - out!

Lost in translation

A basterd’s work is never done

Toy stories

Going off the rails on a crazy

The rodents in the
ointment

Revenge of the nerd

As queer as you’d expect

The story of L

Too much is never enough

Dubya’s last stand

Keep it Simple, Stupid

On a political prisoner

Guess who’s back?

Kid's stuff? Not really

She was once a girl,
believe it or not

A howling shame

Putting the dead in deadline

Gag…reflex?

Delicious double-crosses
