Energy minister Joe Mizzi has admitted to sabotaging the power station and causing the recent spate of power cuts because he wanted to appear in a Bis-Serjetà headline.
Several localities were once again without electricity this afternoon, following another outage last night.
While the government and Enemalta have pinned the blame on various factors, it now transpires that it was an inside job.
“This year Bis-Serjetà have written about every cabinet minister, except me. It’s just not fair,” Mizzi said.
“Sure, you referred to me every now and then but it’s not the same as having your own headline. I like to keep myself to myself and stay out of trouble, but come on – over 360 articles and not a single one in which I’m the protagonist. I bet most people don’t know I’m the energy minister.
“By the end of the year it was just me and Owen Bonnici who had never appear in a headline. I thought, ‘Well, at least I’m in good company’. But then you went and gave him one too,” Mizzi said, referring to the recent BS article about how Bonnici keeps all Daphne photos removed from the Great Siege monument in his garage.
“After that I decided to take matters into my own hands. I travelled to Sicily and took a baseball bat to an important-looking control panel at the substation in Ragusa. When that didn’t work I scuba-dived to the seabed and cut the interconnector cable, almost getting eaten by a shark in the process.
“When I still didn’t get my headline, I disguise myself as an engineer and spilled a cup of coffee over a control panel at the Delimera power station. Yet still no bloody mention.”
Mizzi said that at that point the only two options were coming clean or completely destroying the power station with high explosives.
“Unfortunately I don’t have the same level of contact with organised crime as some of my colleagues in government, so I had to go with the former. But hey, at least I’ve got my article now.
