Labour Party campaign worker gets her reward for kicking up a fuss about the morning-after pill

Nikita Zammit Alamango, who helped create a fake controversy about the morning-after pill as part of her campaign work for the government, has now announced that the government has appointed her to the Bioethics Consultative Committee.

She has absolutely no academic background or training in science, medicine or bioethics, but now has the singular honour of sitting alongside fellow board member Vincent Moran, Mintoff’s 1970s health minister. This is clearly her compensation for creating a distraction with a ‘campaign’ for the morning-after pill.

Zammit Alamango, a key member of Forum Zghazagh Laburisti, the Labour Party’s youth forum, was extremely active in the party’s general election campaigns in 2008 and 2013. In 2008, the Labour Party was not elected and so was unable to reward her with a government job, but in 2013, she was given a senior managerial position at the state utilities billing agency, ARMS, and also made a director of the Water Services Corporation.
