Salvu Mallia today raises tourism issues in his weekly blog on this website, saying that he cannot understand how the government boasts so much about the country’s economy and then does not have the money to repair potholes in the roads.

We are giving the impression that we neglect our own home, he argues, adding that the government should give local councils enough money to work with or, if the roads in question are under its own responsibility, get someone to repair the mess.
