Owen Bonnici Takes Over Fearne As New Leader Of House

Owen Bonnici Takes Over Fearne As New Leader Of House
May 22 2024 Share

Culture Minister Owen Bonnici has succeeded Chris Fearne as leader of the House of Representatives, following the former deputy prime minister’s reassignment of responsibilities amid the fallout from the Vitals inquiry.

The announcement in the government gazette designates Bonnici as the person responsible for setting the parliamentary agenda. Although this role typically goes to a deputy prime minister, Prime Minister Robert Abela has not yet officially appointed one, as there is no constitutional mandate requiring him to do so.

Sources indicate that Bonnici will serve as acting prime minister whenever Abela is out of the country or otherwise unable to perform his duties. As the most senior member of the cabinet, Bonnici has frequently taken on this role in the absence of either the prime minister or Fearne.

Fearne resigned from the cabinet earlier this month due to fraud charges related to the privatization deal of three state hospitals. His portfolio, which included EU funds, reforms, and social dialogue, has been absorbed by the prime minister’s office.

Fearne also withdrew his candidacy as Malta’s nominee to the next EU Commission. While Environment Minister Miriam Dalli is considered a potential replacement, no official announcement has been made.

Smoked Blunt Roach By Snoop Dogg Going Up For Auction

Smoked Blunt Roach By Snoop Dogg Going Up For Auction
May 22 2024 Share

Snoop Dogg has just listed one of the most unique items in hip-hop memorabilia—a smoked blunt roach. This item is part of his ongoing “Tha Shiznit” auction through The Realest and is the first authenticated roach from the rap legend himself.

It was smoked on March 27 of this year in front of a TRUeST Authenticator. The roach has been collected, covertly marked, documented, and preserved inside a solid resin block, ensuring it is no longer consumable. This resin block is placed inside the ashtray that Snoop used, allowing the highest bidder to display this rare item indefinitely.

The auction also features other notable artifacts from Snoop Dogg’s career, including a Doggystyle gold plaque from the Canadian Recording Industry Association, a signed tour itinerary and tech rider, a custom Death Row Records logo pendant by King Ice, and his handwritten tour setlist.

“Each item up for bid is a tangible reminder of Snoop’s impact on the world, from original lyric sheets and stage-worn items to one-of-one studio masters that have never before been available,” writes The Realest.

Currently, Snoop Dogg’s smoked blunt roach has a bidding price of $514 USD.
