In an astonishing twist of events that has left many questioning the very essence of justice, former Judge Joe Zammit McKeon has plunged into hot waters, embroiled in a jaw-dropping scandal that screams of conflict of interest at the highest level. The “puppeteer,” Zammit McKeon’s silence is deafening following revelations that cast a long shadow over his so-called governance.
Allegations suggest that McKeon was complicit in the selection process for Magistrates while one of the candidates was someone from his own office.
When pressed for an explanation, the so-called champion of governance offered nothing but silence, leaving the air thick with suspicion.
Calls are mounting for the government to demand his resignation—and not tomorrow but today. In any other nation with an ounce of decorum, the government would have already shown him the door, ensuring his resignation, or better yet, an immediate dismissal. Yet here we stand, in a country teetering on the edge of a democracy and flirting with the idea of becoming a banana republic.

The Labour Government’s past kowtowing to an outrageous ruling by Judge Zammit McKeon was a slap in the face of justice. A ruling that saw the desecration of the Great Siege monument by the Defnist clique, dragging our nation’s dignity through the mud, and echoing the kind of administrative failures we would expect from a far less esteemed governance.
What lies at the heart of this scandal is not just a conflict of interest, but the biggest, ugliest one our country has ever seen. As scandals go, this one is a show-stopper, begging the question: when will accountability and justice take center stage in this ongoing drama?
