Tonio Fenech appointed his former personal assistant Alan Caruana as his new consultant

Finance minister Tonio Fenech has appointed his former head of secretariat as a consultant with a salary package amounting to €67,473, the newspaper Illum reported Sunday.

Alan Caruana wasFenech's former personal assistant and a former head of secretariat within the ministry.

Caruana reportedly resigned from these roles just a few days before Tonio Fenech appointed him as his consultant. Caruana's contract kicked off on 13 June, 2012.

The newspaper reports that while Caruana's annual salary amounted to €38,556, he enjoys an extra €28,917 in the form of a resettlement bonus, an allowance and to cover car expenses.

Sources who spoke to Illum said that Caruana, who also sits on the board of governors of the financial services promoters FinanceMalta, might have been eyeing the post of chairman of Mimcol, government's investment arm, and was appointed to the role of consultant to make up for the lost opportunity.

Mhux hekk sew Hon Tonio Fenech. Lil Hbieb tal hbieb jiehud l-eluf u il-haddiem jiehu il-lasta. Jaqaw insejt li cahhad haddiema milli jiehdu ftit qamel ghaliex kienu qedin jaghmlu bicca xoghol extra f'dipartiment B'Kara biex haduhom tal-qalba. Jekk tkun tal-qalba tghix ta sinjur imma jekk le tilaq it-trab ta l-ART. Nispera li ghad issir Gustizzja ma min KISSER il-HADDIEM.

Astrolux boy....jien pensonjant u jidirli li anke int pensjonant. Allura ahna fejn nidhlu f'din il-bicca xoghol ta' konsulenza. Zminna ghadda u issa noqoghdu ngawdu il-pensjoni li qatt ihallsu ghaliha in-nies li qed jahdmu illum. Ghada dawk li qed jahdmu illum jiehdu il-pensjoni li jhallsu ghaliha dawk li ser ikunu jahdmu ghada. Konsulent ghal ministru tal-Finanza mhix cajta, il-responsabbilta li ghandu dal-bniedem hija enormu, tista' tkisser pajjiz jekk ma jahdimx tajjeb. U biex issib bniedem li jidhol ghal din il-bicca trid thallas tajjeb. Inkella tkun qed tarmi l-flus. Pay peanuts get monkeys.

. . and was appointed to the role of consultant to make up for the lost opportunity. Il-marelli ghal min iridu kemm opportunitajiet jaghtuhom u b'dawk l-eluf kollha u Alla jbierk and resettlement bonus ser jiehu u allowances u spejjes tal-karozza (€28,917) u ghalina z-zghar mank bicca opportunita ma hemm. Drazzi Sur Gvern u ta' dan ser inpattilek fl-elezzjoni li jmiss. M'ghadnix fidil li nibla kollox u issa li ndunajt li ghal dawk ta'ghajnejhom blu iktar minn tieghi hemm affarijiet kemm trid imma fl-ahha mill-ahhar jiena fil-familja ghandi 8 voti u dawk din id-darba ser imorru kollu kollha ghal partit tal-haddiema l-PL.
