Momentum reveals: what Ray Fenech commissioned Vincent Marmara of Sagalytics to ask about Daphne and Yorgen Fenech
Momentum is publishing the questions about Yorgen Fenech and Daphne which Raymond Fenech commissioned to Prof Vincent Marmara, of Sagalytics Ltd.
On 2nd July 2021 a contract was signed between Mr Raymond Fenech of the Tumas Group and Dr Vincent Marmara Phd (Stirling), M.S. (Sheff.) Statistics, B.SC (Hons) (Melit), FRSS.
Despite these academic qualifications in the contract, Dr Marmara’ insists he was signing as Sagalytics Ltd. Director not as an academic.
Momentum leader, Arnold Cassola, stated “As part of the remit of the contract, in order to assure anonymity on the person commissioning the survey (Raymond Fenech) and on the company carrying out the survey (Sagalytics Ltd.), it was agreed that when respondents answered the phone, they would use the phrase: “Qeghdin naghmlu survey minn kumpanija f’Malta tas-surveys f’isem klijent indipendenti”.
Prof. Cassola concluded: “is it ethical for serious companies phoning up respondents not to reveal their identity and to hide behind the generic “Kumpanija f’ Malta tas -surveys”?
Please find attached the 22 questions which the anonymous survey company was asking the respondents in the name of the anonymous person who had commissioned it.
