Siggiewi's 99 'ghost voters'
Requiem for the
Smart 'internet
city': Offices make
way for flats
A social housing site in Siggiewi
has 99 registered voters who do
not live there in a case of suspected
gerrymandering ahead of the June
local election.
These 'ghost voters' had their ID
cards transferred to the new ad-
dress in the past three weeks de-
spite the building not yet able to
house people.
Significantly, 73% of these people
hail from three localities that form
part of Housing Minister Roderick
Galdes's constituency.

INITIALLY touted by the
Gonzi administration as a
digital hub that would em-
ploy 4,000 workers, Smart
City is fast changing into a
residential and commercial
project.
Office space, once meant
to attract the big names of
the digital world, is now
limited to only 9% of the
project's floor space in the
newly proposed masterplan.
