L-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports tilqa’ bi pjaċir il-ħatra ta’ Dr Clifton Grima fil-kariga ta’ Ministru għall-Edukazzjoni u l-Isport L-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports (GħĠS) tifraħ lil Dr. Clifton Grima għall-ħatra tiegħu fil-kariga ta’ Ministru għall-Edukazzjoni u l-Isport u tirringrazzja lill-Gvern talli ta każ is-suġġeriment tal-istess Għaqda u ta’ diversi entitajiet sportivi dwar il-ħtieġa li l-isport ikun elevat għal-livell ta’ Ministeru. L-GħĠS konvinta din id-deċiżjoni se tħalli l-ġid u r-riżultati mixtieqa, iktar u iktar għax l-isport kien diġà taħt ir-responsabbiltà ta’ Dr Grima fil-kariga ta’ Segretarju Parlamentari. L-GĦĠS tirringrazzja lill-Prim Ministru Dr Robert Abela, li sa minn meta fl-aħħar snin saret din it-talba minn diversi entitatjiet, evalwa l-bżonn ta’ dan is-settur u ħa deċiżjoni għaqlija. L-GħĠS tisħaq li fil-preżent, jirrikjedi li l-isport jitla’ f’dan il-livell biex jibqa' dejjem prijorità fuq l-Aġenda tal-Gvern. Finalment, l-GĦĠS tawgura lil Dr Grima ħidma sfiqa għall-ġid tal-Edukazzjoni u l-Isport f’pajjiżna.

The Malta Sports Journalists Association (MSJA) congratulates Dr Clifton Grima on being appointed as the Minister for Education and Sport and thanks the government for taking into consideration the suggestions of the MSJA and various sports entities regarding the need for sport to be elevated to a Ministerial level. The MSJA feels that this decision will have the desired results, especially due to the fact that Dr. Grima was already responsible for this sector when he was serving as a Parliamentary Secretary. The MSJA thanks Prime Minister, Dr Robert Abela, for listening and considering the requests which were being made in recent years from various sports entities. It is only obvious that the new and current needs of local Sport Associations and Federations are met with Sport being always pushed further up in the Government's Agenda. Finally, the MSJA augurs Dr Clifton Grima all the best for his commitment towards [...]
