The confrontation escalated further within Parliament as Minister of Health, Arben Vitia, and Deputy Hykmete Bajrami debated the drug pricing legislation. Vitia firmly maintained that the LDK’s tenure resulted in a significant proliferation of pharmaceutical millionaires.
He emphasized that prior governments had failed to demonstrate sufficient resolve in implementing this particular law. Bajrami countered, asserting that Vitia’s typically calm and deliberate speech couldn’t mask underlying instances of crime and corruption. She sharply criticized his measured approach, specifically referencing the government’s reliance on 4,000 sole-source tenders.
Hykmete Bajrami’s argument highlighted concerns about transparency and accountability within the system. The exchange underscored a fundamental disagreement regarding the government’s handling of pharmaceutical pricing and the potential for impropriety.
