With an honorarium below Malta’s average salary, mayors say whether pay reflects the job’s realities

Malta's mayors are the people on the front-line when it comes to politics, dealing with the day-to-day gripes of their localities - however trivial or serious they may be - and yet the remuneration...

latest comment from Summer Shade, 08/09/2024 13:28: This was never meant to replace one's full time employment. Reduce the councils from 60+ to 13 regions and by all means let's give them full time employment and a good pay package, but I'm definitely not ready to pay for 60 mayors and hundreds of councillors for such a small island with only half a million inhabitants.

Allahres ma kienx il-gvern li dahal fin-nofs u gieghlkom trahhsu l-prezzijiet. Il-kompetizzjoni hawn Malta tezisti f'min joffri l-aghar prodott u min jisirqek l-iktar.

latest comment from RF, 08/09/2024 16:34: A decent government would have taken steps to erect a monument in a prominent place to Malta's greatest heroine on the 7th anniversary next month of her heinous assassination under disgraced Joseph Muscat's watch. Notwithstanding the Labour cabinet's undemocratic efforts to erase her memory; Daphne Caruana Galizia will long be remembered with gratitude for singlehandely exposing the administration's corruption and fraud through such deals as Cafe' Premiere, American University of Malta, Vitals and Steward, Electrogas, Montenegro windfarms, Egrant secret company, Pilatus Bank. Panama accounts, and squandering of public funds on incompetent persons of trust.

latest comment from Joe Mallia, 08/09/2024 12:52: Millions of our money has been squandered on road widening projects, flyovers and tunnels did not bring the expected results. These projects encouraged the private car use and now we are reaping the results of this short sighted strategy. These millions should have been invested in alternative means of transport coupled with measures to reduce the private car dependency. Unless there is a genuine political will address this issue, we will continue breathing polluted air whose main sources are transport and the construction industry.
