CHRIS Fearne and Ian Borg have retained
the top two spots as the best performing
ministers, a MaltaToday survey has found.
The Deputy Prime Minister and health
minister obtained a rating of 25.2% in a sur-
vey carried out in the first week of February,
while the Infrastructure Minister placed sec-
ond with 16%.
In a similar survey last October, the pair al-
so placed first and second respectively with
Fearne scoring 27.9% and Borg 11%.
