So, what was Joe Zammit McKeon, the self-proclaimed champion of Malta’s ‘rule of law,’ really up to when everything started spiraling out of control? Shouldn’t he, pillars of integrity as he claims to be, have acted with transparency from the get-go, especially when knowing that his long-time associate, Dr. Monica Borg Galea, was in the mix?

In a shocking oversight, Zammit McKeon failed to make the most straight forward of moves: stepping back and notifying the Chief Justice about his conflict of interest in the Judicial Appointments Committee. Rather than ensuring the process was above board by entrusting his seat to someone else entirely, a chance to truly demonstrate his fidelity to fairness slipped through his fingers. And why not tap into the Office of the Ombudsman, where other competent members could have easily taken over, safeguarding the process from the slightest whisper of bias?

Remember Former Chief Justice Dr. Vincent De Gaetano? Many believe he would have handled this maze of responsibility with much more grace and transparency. His ability to navigate the intricate layers of justice certainly seems a notch above what we’ve witnessed lately.
Dr. Joe Zammit McKeon, the marionette-master extraordinaire, has instead conjured up a storm of confusion where clarity was essential. The ripples of your choices have become the talk of the town, igniting whispers in every corner—a scandal you could have easily avoided.
