Confrontation on the Health Commission, Haxhiu: Government has impoverished Kosovo

Commission member from the Democratic Party of Kosovo Bekim Haxhiu expressed disappointment after publishing the list of drug prices, because he notes their expensiveness.

Haxhiu argued that increased drug prices also directly affect the increase in the poverty of citizens.

In this regard, meanwhile, the member of this commission from the Vetevendosje Movement, Haxhi Avdyli, has retaliated, for what he said the current government in these three and a half years has shown is very interested in reducing poverty.

The price rate rate that has directly affected the growth of poverty. As long as we monitor it here, the law on social services tells us a lot of the other law, which we have voted for as a Parliament, the law to regulate the prices of medical products by which the purpose and goal of all has been to lower the prices of drugs by this law, and to have a price unification at the level of the Republic of Kosovo. However, disappointed with what I've seen after publishing the drug prices list, where the drugs that are now on the retail market, on the price list are much more expensive than they are on the retail market... The increase in drug prices also directly affects the poverty of the citizens”, Haxhi said.

Avdyli argued that the government with direct decisions and support has influenced the elimination of forms of poverty.

This government in the past three and a half years has shown that it is very interested in reducing poverty, with direct support with lehonna material, with direct child support, then with youth support, with particular products directly affecting the elimination of poverty forms that is the first objective... since colleague Bekim gave a look at this government, not this report, we can also say that the support that has been done through subsidies, grants in agriculture has never been like before, Avli said.

Within the framework of the Commission for Health, which was called to assess the fulfillment of the development objectives sustainable by the Social and Family Services Act, the discussion between the status and opposition MPs has continued.

Regarding the government's working on reducing poverty, MP Haxhiu denied such a thing, for which he said the government's policy is to poor citizens at costing electricity and products.

It's worth the honorable amount to Haxhi, citizens over 100 percent and given citizens 1 times 100 euros is not a policy for sustainable development, but it's a gift to citizens. Because, according to what I'm looking at, government policy is to poor citizens with the expensive energy and products”, Avdyli said.

Meanwhile, before the members of this commission, Fitim Mulolli reported, who initiated that the Social and Family Services Law makes an important place for the realisation of the objectives because it adds that the evaluation report meets about 11 license plates.

He said there are 169 goals to be met in all areas, until he added that the goal is gradually to have these objectives fulfilled as much as possible by 2030.

Even the Council for Sustainable Development as a co-ordination body of these objectives has made many activities to see where Kosovo is standing and to try to boost awareness of institutions first, about meeting these goals. In this regard, the law on social and family services is of great importance to the realisation of these objectives because, says the report, it meets about 11 targets. So there are 169 license plates for all fields, all areas of all aspects that should cover the institutions of each state, in this case even of the Republic of Kosovo. This law is very successful (fulfilling) about 11 of them plus about 3 classes of education, although it is not a priority area to cover, it still touches them. The goal is gradually to have these targets fulfilled as much as 2030, said Mulolli, Kosovo Press.
