Nationalist MPs to give Gonzi backing against Labour honoraria motion

PN forms committee headed by Tonio Borg to collect amendments from MPs on divorce bill.

Nationalist MPs are expected to back Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi against a Labour motion against the raise in honoraria for Cabinet ministers.

MPs who spoke to MaltaToday said a parliamentary group meeting held this afternoon had been conciliatory in tone, after Gonzi had to face a major setback with the approval of divorce in a national referendum two weeks ago.

Transport minister Austin Gatt, who previously claimed he would resign if the PN executive committee did not take a formal stand against divorce, was not present for the parliamentary group meeting.

Sources said that MPs were told that support for the prime minister would be important ahead of a series of money bills in parliament, where a Nationalist majority is crucial. Deputy prime minister Tonio Borg was amongst those who called on MPs to understand the reason behind the honoraria raise.

Some Cabinet members also pointed out to MP that the divorce bill that is expected to be passed in July could well be watered down from its original version as it passes through committee stage.

Tonio Borg will be chairing a committee of five MPs to receive amendments from MPs to fine-tune the divorce bill. The other MPs are Dolores Cristina, Mario De Marco, Francis Zammit Dimech, and Jesmond Mugliett.

The Opposition has filed a parliamentary motion calling on the House to express its disapproval at the non-transparent manner in which the Cabinet approved an arbitrary increase in ministers’ salaries. The motion calls for the disapproval of Cabinet’s “insensitive, arbitrary and non-transparent” decision to increase ministers’ salary with an increase parliamentary honorarium that was not paid to other MPs.

The Cabinet took a decision on 5 May, 2008 to increase the salaries for the Prime Minister and government ministers and parliamentary secretaries by being paid their MP’s honorarium as well as a higher salary.

The MP’s honorarium turned out to be a higher honorarium than those other MPs, and salaries were bumped up with four-fold increase in duty allowances. The same decision should have included a similar increase for the salaries of the Speaker of the House and the Opposition leader, whose salaries are indexed to the Cabinet’s.

But so far the Cabinet has not forwarded this salary increase to the Opposition leader, despite having been already revealed by MaltaToday in October 2008 and later on last year by Joseph Muscat.

Contrary to the impression that Matthew Vella tries to give, the motion is not simply against "the raise in honoraria" but mainly against the fact that Joseph Muscat has not received it as well. . Why should Nationalist MPs back such an egocentric motion? . Contrary to what MaltaToday predicted a few hours ago, Gonzi is NOT "expected to lose this motion". The crystal ball needs polishing.

@ Furjaniz As much as I agree with you, I really hope that the PL will do something concrete about this 'power of incumbency'. I admit, it is very difficult but something needs to be done. The problem is that many persons now complain about this and about that, but at election time, when GonziPN resorts to the same old tactics, everyone forgets the bad things and only think of how much he/she is going to earn by GonziPN's treats.

Frank Portelli also wrote in the Times of Malta on 16 January giving the following cuts as a result of austerity masures taken in other countries by way of a reduction in Ministers/MPs salaries: UK 5% Italy 10% Ireland 15% Spain 5% Czech Republic 5% Greece “ substantial reduction” but exact figure was undisclosed Jordan 20% Singapore 15% Bahamas 16% Alberta Canada 15% I think that local journalists should look into this issue in greater depth so that the public is better informed on what is currently happening on this issue. It is clear that there is a strong sentiment to reduce and NOT to increase Cabinet Miniser's salaries

On 25 May 2011 the Italian Cabinet announced its new budget which included cuts on growing concern that the Euro currency could falter after Greece nearly defaulted on its debt. The proposed cuts include a 10% salary reduction for politicians earning more than 80,000 euros a year.

So where has the crisis of conscience gone? Nothing out of the ordinary - the PN would do ANYTHING to cling to the seat of power which they adore so much. But the insensitivity that Gonzi has shown will haunt him till the next election. How could the people forget that he gave himself €500 weekly, while he gave the workers mere crumbs (€1.16) to feed their families. Worse still he did everything behind everybody's back?

In the UK almost half of Councils paid their chief executives more than David Cameron. This emerged at a time when local authorities are threatening to make cuts including the closure of libraries, a squeeze on social care and a reduction in road maintenance budgets. Councils executives are being urged to set an example by accepting a reduction in their pay. “This is about Councils making the right call for the public they represent and giving them the value for money they deserve. If they do this then they will show leadership and personal commitment to protecting front line services.”

On 4 February 2011 Iraq’s Prime Minister pledged to halve his salary “I will reduce my salary by 50% as President of the Cabinet and return it to the State Treasury starting from this month.” Maliki said the move was intended to “reduce the differences in all of society.” Abdul Mahdi al-Karbalai said “All governments, even democracies, must study the main reasons that have led to this public anger against their regimes, which started in Tunisia”.

Ireland's new government, which was sworn in last March, agreed to reduce the Prime Minister's pay by 6.6%. The salary of the Deputy Prime Minister will also be reduced as will that of 15 new cabinet ministers by 6.6%. These reductions come after a 20% cut in the Prime Minister’s salary as part of the measures that encompassed a 10% ‘voluntary’ pay cut taken by the Prime Minister and his Ministers in late 2008 for the 2009 budget.

The increase in the honoraria of Cabinet Minister is not justified in the current bad econincromic climate. David Cameron’s remuneration package was cut from £194,000 to £150,000 on Gordon Brown's orders on 5 June 2010. Five months later in September 2010 Cameron’s package was further cut on his own decision by another 5% to £142,500. Over the course of a five-year parliament, the reduction to Cameron’s package will be in excess of £250,000, and this is not counting the pension benefits.

The expiry date of GonziPN was on March 2008 but they changed the rules. So unfortunately they still govern. They are bankrupting Malta and we have to face the bill when PL is in Government. Malta's financial situation is worse than GonziPN is reporting to the EU. Malta will be like Greece in 2013. Mark my words. GonziPN is overspending and taking loans day by day. Will Tonio Fenech will be held accountable? No, they will live luxurious lives while we have to pay the bill.

The most important part that from several comments i read did not highlight it is this :-"Some Cabinet members also pointed out to MP that the divorce bill that is expected to be passed in July could well be watered down from its original version as it passes through committee stage." Oh does this mean its going to be passed in a censored way? This is really undemocratic! It is going to be hard for the PN to win again next election at this pace.

Can anyone who is familiar with the Pensions Ordnance please enlighten me whether the increase of Euro 500 weekly will also be reflected in the MPs' pension? If so, all costings made so far have to be revised considerably.

Everyone knows, including stauch Nationalist supporters, that Lawrence GonziPN will resort to all sorts of devilish tricks in order to retain power. He is such a power hungry creature. Of course, he is no Alfred Sant, opting to call it a day. GonziPN will never think of going for an early election! Next Saturday, the PN MPs will reveal their true colours and show everyone who they really are - essentially against the public who is facing severe financial hardship. Where would their conscience be in this case? Come next election, GonziPN will resort to the same antics in order to win back disgruntled PN supporters. That is why I dismiss all those who say they are PN but no more....

Its perhaps its my old school...am approaching 80,but to my mind 'conservative environmentalists' are more akin to Prince Charles than to 'environmentalist'. Perhaps 'conservative environmentalist' are in reality conservationists rather than environmentalists, and in take case, although it is with in their right to call themselves what they want ...it is somehow misleading.
