The Malta Chamber of Pharmacists has reacted strongly to the news that medicines which should be distributed through pharmacies under the Pharmacy of Your Choice (POYC) scheme are instead being given out through certain Labour Party clubs under a preferential system to selected supporters of the Labour MP Silvio Parnis.
The Chamber has released a statement calling the situation “bizarre” and saying that “if this is the case then the distribution of medicines has become politicised to unbelievable proportions.” It calls on the authorities to take action immediately to stop the abuse.

The statement misses the point. Medicines are distributed through strictly controlled channels to prevent abuse and theft and to protect patients’ health.
Medicines can only be dispensed to members of the public by pharmacists.
So you mean I cannot go to my local MLP kazin and ask the tattooed man behind the bar near the snooker table for a bottle of morphine capsules?
They never change.
Il-medicini taghhom ukoll.
They use anything to create a preferred section of the population; so they get the ignorant Labourites to believe that they are being given preferential treatment, with their own tax money.
The suckers fall for this con job every time.
It is like someone stealing your wallet, and then pretends to be generous and so nice by lending you ten euros from your stolen wallet.
“It is like someone stealing your wallet, and then pretends to be generous and so nice by lending you ten euros from your stolen wallet.”
Or, in the case of Mintoff, who Jo and his cohorts emulate, stealing other people’s wallets and then lending to you in the name of ‘generosity’.
This is why so many Labour supporters try to live off of social housing and other social services and tell their children to thank Mintoff for their blessings to this day.
This is in Konman Mizzi’s portfolio, the corrupt cabinet politician whose corruption consists of approving the appointment of his wife to a non-defined useless but well paid public position.
Buying votes with medicines is the worst form of abuse one can think of and this is happening under Konman’s watch. No shame, no principles, no value, just power.
Parnis the Buffoon was doling out favours left, right and centre, and tabling the most ridiculous PQs about stupid, petty cases (almost as stupid and petty as the new President’s infamous ‘sapuniera’ incident), when he was still a lowly opposition back-bencher.
It should have been blatantly obvious that once in power he would hit the hyper-space button. I hope his dishonest leader and PM now at least has the common decency to sort him out, and dump him – should this be proved to be true.
I’m not holding my breath.
Disgraceful, but what does anyone outside of the bottom feeder gene pool expect?
They could go the whole hog and do building permits and scrap MEPA
Tax and VAT returns at KOYC? Kazin Of Your Choice
The list is endless
Just a moment: the statement says ‘politicised to unbelievable proportions’.
I do not know whether this was intended but the statement implies that the Chamber accepts that the distribution has been politicised – the fact that the distribution is from a PL club exacerbates the already shocking situation.
In other words, the Chamber seems to state: this is the last straw. Not only medicine distribution is being politicised but if this were true, it is even worse than what we were being told.
Succinctly put, the Chamber is not questioning whether the distribution is politicised but whether it has become so politicised that medicines are being distributed from the PL clubs.
