A KPS (Kummissjoni Politika Socjali) meeting held before the Easter recess voted against a proposal by MOVE to install a condom machine in Students’ House.

The latest twist in the condom machine saga came after a vote was taken following a lengthy discussion during a KPS meeting, which had on the agenda MOVE’s proposal for the condom machine.

Opening the debate, a MOVE spokesperson gave a short presentation about their campaign and why students want such a machine.  MOVE’s arguments were backed up by statistics and continuous references to the ABC guidelines of sexual health put forward by WHO (World Health Organisation) as it became evident that MOVE’s campaign was not solely related to the installation of a condom machine, but slanted in favour of a holistic sexual health policy.

Replying, KSU President Carl Grech criticised the way MOVE had gone about the condom machine campaign.  He argued that the case put forward by MOVE about the lack of availability of condoms to students is irrelevant, as in the university vicinity condoms are available from a pharmacy.
Furthermore, KSU put forward the idea of having a pharmacy on campus. MOVE agreed that a pharmacy presents a far better solution but elaborated that MEPA is not accepting any applications for pharmacies.

Other student representatives from various organisations objected to the way MOVE had carried out the campaign. They held that the campaign mentioned by MOVE during KPS was not clearly explained in the email that was previously sent by MOVE. Also many held that the campaign should have first focused on A- Abstinence and B- Be Faithful, rather then moving straight to the C- Contraceptive part.

MMSA (Malta Medical Students Association) held that campaigns regarding sexual health and health in general have already been carried out by them.

After a two hour discussion, MOVE asked for a vote to be taken on whether KSU should get a condom machine in Students’ House, and that this machine will be removed if a pharmacy is present on campus. A secret vote was taken and the majority voted against.

Subsequently, Carl Grech put forward another proposal, which stated that the Sexual Health Committee must carry out a sexual health campaign, with the support of other student organisations. A secret vote was taken and this proposal managed to garner a majority of votes.

When contacted, MOVE President Godfrey Galea said that his organisation will respect the vote taken but urged all students to remember that the KPS role is to issue policies and as such does not have an executive role at University.

Galea said that it is KSU who has the executive role at University and the decision should have been taken by them, “but it seemed that KSU did not want to take the responsibility to make a decision.”

He continued that, “one must also keep in mind that in our survey the vast majority of students were in favour of this condom machine and their opinion was not respected. Apart from this, one has to mention that the KPS policy on health has a section where it states that KSU will encourage and help any organisation which works on the ABC (Abstain, Be faithful, Correct and Consistent use of Condoms) notion of WHO. In this case, KPS and KSU went against this statement.”

The MOVE President stated that it is somewhat strange that while the KSU president said that KSU was working on bringing a pharmacy at university which would also sell condoms, it had a problem with condoms being dispensed by a machine.

Replying to questions by insiteronline.com on what further action MOVE is planning to take, Godfrey Galea said that students’ health will remain a top priority for MOVE and his organisation will continue working on ways to help students, be it with or without a condom machine.

Other student representatives from various organisations objected to the way MOVE had carried out the campaign. They held that the campaign mentioned by MOVE during KPS was not clearly explained in the email that was previously sent by MOVE. Also many held that the campaign should have first focused on A- Abstinence and B- Be Faithful, rather then moving straight to the C- Contraceptive part.

MMSA (Malta Medical Students Association) held that campaigns regarding sexual health and health in general have already been carried out by them.

After a two hour discussion, MOVE asked for a vote to be taken on whether KSU should get a condom machine in Students’ House, and that this machine will be removed if a pharmacy is present on campus. A secret vote was taken and the majority voted against.

Subsequently, Carl Grech put forward another proposal, which stated that the Sexual Health Committee must carry out a sexual health campaign, with the support of other student organisations. A secret vote was taken and this proposal managed to garner a majority of votes.

When contacted, MOVE President Godfrey Galea said that his organisation will respect the vote taken but urged all students to remember that the KPS role is to issue policies and as such does not have an executive role at University.

Galea said that it is KSU who has the executive role at University and the decision should have been taken by them, “but it seemed that KSU did not want to take the responsibility to make a decision.”

He continued that, “one must also keep in mind that in our survey the vast majority of students were in favour of this condom machine and their opinion was not respected. Apart from this, one has to mention that the KPS policy on health has a section where it states that KSU will encourage and help any organisation which works on the ABC (Abstain, Be faithful, Correct and Consistent use of Condoms) notion of WHO. In this case, KPS and KSU went against this statement.”

The MOVE President stated that it is somewhat strange that while the KSU president said that KSU was working on bringing a pharmacy at university which would also sell condoms, it had a problem with condoms being dispensed by a machine.

Replying to questions by insiteronline.com on what further action MOVE is planning to take, Godfrey Galea said that students’ health will remain a top priority for MOVE and his organisation will continue working on ways to help students, be it with or without a condom machine.  

 

A KPS (Kummissjoni Politika Socjali) meeting held before the Easter recess voted against a proposal by MOVE to install a condom machine in Students’ House.

The latest twist in the condom machine saga came after a vote was taken following a lengthy discussion during a KPS meeting, which had on the agenda MOVE’s proposal for the condom machine.

Opening the debate, a MOVE spokesperson gave a short presentation about their campaign and why students want such a machine.  MOVE’s arguments were backed up by statistics and continuous references to the ABC guidelines of sexual health put forward by WHO (World Health Organisation) as it became evident that MOVE’s campaign was not solely related to the installation of a condom machine, but slanted in favour of a holistic sexual health policy.

Subsequently, Carl Grech put forward another proposal, which stated that the Sexual Health Committee must carry out a sexual health campaign, with the support of other student organisations. A secret vote was taken and this proposal managed to garner a majority of votes.

When contacted, MOVE President Godfrey Galea said that his organisation will respect the vote taken but urged all students to remember that the KPS role is to issue policies and as such does not have an executive role at University.

Galea said that it is KSU who has the executive role at University and the decision should have been taken by them, “but it seemed that KSU did not want to take the responsibility to make a decision.”

He continued that, “one must also keep in mind that in our survey the vast majority of students were in favour of this condom machine and their opinion was not respected. Apart from this, one has to mention that the KPS policy on health has a section where it states that KSU will encourage and help any organisation which works on the ABC (Abstain, Be faithful, Correct and Consistent use of Condoms) notion of WHO. In this case, KPS and KSU went against this statement.”

The MOVE President stated that it is somewhat strange that while the KSU president said that KSU was working on bringing a pharmacy at university which would also sell condoms, it had a problem with condoms being dispensed by a machine.

Replying to questions by insiteronline.com on what further action MOVE is planning to take, Godfrey Galea said that students’ health will remain a top priority for MOVE and his organisation will continue working on ways to help students, be it with or without a condom machine.  

 

A KPS (Kummissjoni Politika Socjali) meeting held before the Easter recess voted against a proposal by MOVE to install a condom machine in Students’ House.

The latest twist in the condom machine saga came after a vote was taken following a lengthy discussion during a KPS meeting, which had on the agenda MOVE’s proposal for the condom machine.

Opening the debate, a MOVE spokesperson gave a short presentation about their campaign and why students want such a machine.  MOVE’s arguments were backed up by statistics and continuous references to the ABC guidelines of sexual health put forward by WHO (World Health Organisation) as it became evident that MOVE’s campaign was not solely related to the installation of a condom machine, but slanted in favour of a holistic sexual health policy.

Replying, KSU President Carl Grech criticised the way MOVE had gone about the condom machine campaign.  He argued that the case put forward by MOVE about the lack of availability of condoms to students is irrelevant, as in the university vicinity condoms are available from a pharmacy.
Furthermore, KSU put forward the idea of having a pharmacy on campus. MOVE agreed that a pharmacy presents a far better solution but elaborated that MEPA is not accepting any applications for pharmacies.

Other student representatives from various organisations objected to the way MOVE had carried out the campaign. They held that the campaign mentioned by MOVE during KPS was not clearly explained in the email that was previously sent by MOVE. Also many held that the campaign should have first focused on A- Abstinence and B- Be Faithful, rather then moving straight to the C- Contraceptive part.

Apart from this, one has to mention that the KPS policy on health has a section where it states that KSU will encourage and help any organisation which works on the ABC (Abstain, Be faithful, Correct and Consistent use of Condoms) notion of WHO. In this case, KPS and KSU went against this statement.”

The MOVE President stated that it is somewhat strange that while the KSU president said that KSU was working on bringing a pharmacy at university which would also sell condoms, it had a problem with condoms being dispensed by a machine.

Replying to questions by insiteronline.com on what further action MOVE is planning to take, Godfrey Galea said that students’ health will remain a top priority for MOVE and his organisation will continue working on ways to help students, be it with or without a condom machine.  

 

A KPS (Kummissjoni Politika Socjali) meeting held before the Easter recess voted against a proposal by MOVE to install a condom machine in Students’ House.

The latest twist in the condom machine saga came after a vote was taken following a lengthy discussion during a KPS meeting, which had on the agenda MOVE’s proposal for the condom machine.

Opening the debate, a MOVE spokesperson gave a short presentation about their campaign and why students want such a machine.  MOVE’s arguments were backed up by statistics and continuous references to the ABC guidelines of sexual health put forward by WHO (World Health Organisation) as it became evident that MOVE’s campaign was not solely related to the installation of a condom machine, but slanted in favour of a holistic sexual health policy.

Replying, KSU President Carl Grech criticised the way MOVE had gone about the condom machine campaign.  He argued that the case put forward by MOVE about the lack of availability of condoms to students is irrelevant, as in the university vicinity condoms are available from a pharmacy.
Furthermore, KSU put forward the idea of having a pharmacy on campus. MOVE agreed that a pharmacy presents a far better solution but elaborated that MEPA is not accepting any applications for pharmacies.

Other student representatives from various organisations objected to the way MOVE had carried out the campaign. They held that the campaign mentioned by MOVE during KPS was not clearly explained in the email that was previously sent by MOVE. Also many held that the campaign should have first focused on A- Abstinence and B- Be Faithful, rather then moving straight to the C- Contraceptive part.

MMSA (Malta Medical Students Association) held that campaigns regarding sexual health and health in general have already been carried out by them.

After a two hour discussion, MOVE asked for a vote to be taken on whether KSU should get a condom machine in Students’ House, and that this machine will be removed if a pharmacy is present on campus. A secret vote was taken and the majority voted against.

Subsequently, Carl Grech put forward another proposal, which stated that the Sexual Health Committee must carry out a sexual health campaign, with the support of other student organisations. A secret vote was taken and this proposal managed to garner a majority of votes.

When contacted, MOVE President Godfrey Galea said that his organisation will respect the vote taken but urged all students to remember that the KPS role is to issue policies and as such does not have an executive role at University.

Galea said that it is KSU who has the executive role at University and the decision should have been taken by them, “but it seemed that KSU did not want to take the responsibility to make a decision.”

A KPS (Kummissjoni Politika Socjali) meeting held before the Easter recess voted against a proposal by MOVE to install a condom machine in Students’ House.

The latest twist in the condom machine saga came after a vote was taken following a lengthy discussion during a KPS meeting, which had on the agenda MOVE’s proposal for the condom machine.

Opening the debate, a MOVE spokesperson gave a short presentation about their campaign and why students want such a machine.  MOVE’s arguments were backed up by statistics and continuous references to the ABC guidelines of sexual health put forward by WHO (World Health Organisation) as it became evident that MOVE’s campaign was not solely related to the installation of a condom machine, but slanted in favour of a holistic sexual health policy.

Replying, KSU President Carl Grech criticised the way MOVE had gone about the condom machine campaign.  He argued that the case put forward by MOVE about the lack of availability of condoms to students is irrelevant, as in the university vicinity condoms are available from a pharmacy.
Furthermore, KSU put forward the idea of having a pharmacy on campus. MOVE agreed that a pharmacy presents a far better solution but elaborated that MEPA is not accepting any applications for pharmacies.

Other student representatives from various organisations objected to the way MOVE had carried out the campaign. They held that the campaign mentioned by MOVE during KPS was not clearly explained in the email that was previously sent by MOVE. Also many held that the campaign should have first focused on A- Abstinence and B- Be Faithful, rather then moving straight to the C- Contraceptive part.

MMSA (Malta Medical Students Association) held that campaigns regarding sexual health and health in general have already been carried out by them.

After a two hour discussion, MOVE asked for a vote to be taken on whether KSU should get a condom machine in Students’ House, and that this machine will be removed if a pharmacy is present on campus. A secret vote was taken and the majority voted against.

Subsequently, Carl Grech put forward another proposal, which stated that the Sexual Health Committee must carry out a sexual health campaign, with the support of other student organisations. A secret vote was taken and this proposal managed to garner a majority of votes.

When contacted, MOVE President Godfrey Galea said that his organisation will respect the vote taken but urged all students to remember that the KPS role is to issue policies and as such does not have an executive role at University.

Galea said that it is KSU who has the executive role at University and the decision should have been taken by them, “but it seemed that KSU did not want to take the responsibility to make a decision.”

He continued that, “one must also keep in mind that in our survey the vast majority of students were in favour of this condom machine and their opinion was not respected. Apart from this, one has to mention that the KPS policy on health has a section where it states that KSU will encourage and help any organisation which works on the ABC (Abstain, Be faithful, Correct and Consistent use of Condoms) notion of WHO. In this case, KPS and KSU went against this statement.”

Opening the debate, a MOVE spokesperson gave a short presentation about their campaign and why students want such a machine.  MOVE’s arguments were backed up by statistics and continuous references to the ABC guidelines of sexual health put forward by WHO (World Health Organisation) as it became evident that MOVE’s campaign was not solely related to the installation of a condom machine, but slanted in favour of a holistic sexual health policy.

Replying, KSU President Carl Grech criticised the way MOVE had gone about the condom machine campaign.  He argued that the case put forward by MOVE about the lack of availability of condoms to students is irrelevant, as in the university vicinity condoms are available from a pharmacy.
Furthermore, KSU put forward the idea of having a pharmacy on campus. MOVE agreed that a pharmacy presents a far better solution but elaborated that MEPA is not accepting any applications for pharmacies.

Other student representatives from various organisations objected to the way MOVE had carried out the campaign. They held that the campaign mentioned by MOVE during KPS was not clearly explained in the email that was previously sent by MOVE. Also many held that the campaign should have first focused on A- Abstinence and B- Be Faithful, rather then moving straight to the C- Contraceptive part.

MMSA (Malta Medical Students Association) held that campaigns regarding sexual health and health in general have already been carried out by them.

After a two hour discussion, MOVE asked for a vote to be taken on whether KSU should get a condom machine in Students’ House, and that this machine will be removed if a pharmacy is present on campus. A secret vote was taken and the majority voted against.

Subsequently, Carl Grech put forward another proposal, which stated that the Sexual Health Committee must carry out a sexual health campaign, with the support of other student organisations. A secret vote was taken and this proposal managed to garner a majority of votes.

When contacted, MOVE President Godfrey Galea said that his organisation will respect the vote taken but urged all students to remember that the KPS role is to issue policies and as such does not have an executive role at University.

Galea said that it is KSU who has the executive role at University and the decision should have been taken by them, “but it seemed that KSU did not want to take the responsibility to make a decision.”

He continued that, “one must also keep in mind that in our survey the vast majority of students were in favour of this condom machine and their opinion was not respected. Apart from this, one has to mention that the KPS policy on health has a section where it states that KSU will encourage and help any organisation which works on the ABC (Abstain, Be faithful, Correct and Consistent use of Condoms) notion of WHO. In this case, KPS and KSU went against this statement.”

The MOVE President stated that it is somewhat strange that while the KSU president said that KSU was working on bringing a pharmacy at university which would also sell condoms, it had a problem with condoms being dispensed by a machine.

Replying to questions by insiteronline.com on what further action MOVE is planning to take, Godfrey Galea said that students’ health will remain a top priority for MOVE and his organisation will continue working on ways to help students, be it with or without a condom machine.

Other student representatives from various organisations objected to the way MOVE had carried out the campaign. They held that the campaign mentioned by MOVE during KPS was not clearly explained in the email that was previously sent by MOVE. Also many held that the campaign should have first focused on A- Abstinence and B- Be Faithful, rather then moving straight to the C- Contraceptive part.

MMSA (Malta Medical Students Association) held that campaigns regarding sexual health and health in general have already been carried out by them.

After a two hour discussion, MOVE asked for a vote to be taken on whether KSU should get a condom machine in Students’ House, and that this machine will be removed if a pharmacy is present on campus. A secret vote was taken and the majority voted against.

Subsequently, Carl Grech put forward another proposal, which stated that the Sexual Health Committee must carry out a sexual health campaign, with the support of other student organisations. A secret vote was taken and this proposal managed to garner a majority of votes.

When contacted, MOVE President Godfrey Galea said that his organisation will respect the vote taken but urged all students to remember that the KPS role is to issue policies and as such does not have an executive role at University.

Galea said that it is KSU who has the executive role at University and the decision should have been taken by them, “but it seemed that KSU did not want to take the responsibility to make a decision.”

He continued that, “one must also keep in mind that in our survey the vast majority of students were in favour of this condom machine and their opinion was not respected. Apart from this, one has to mention that the KPS policy on health has a section where it states that KSU will encourage and help any organisation which works on the ABC (Abstain, Be faithful, Correct and Consistent use of Condoms) notion of WHO. In this case, KPS and KSU went against this statement.”

The MOVE President stated that it is somewhat strange that while the KSU president said that KSU was working on bringing a pharmacy at university which would also sell condoms, it had a problem with condoms being dispensed by a machine.

Replying to questions by insiteronline.com on what further action MOVE is planning to take, Godfrey Galea said that students’ health will remain a top priority for MOVE and his organisation will continue working on ways to help students, be it with or without a condom machine.  

 

A KPS (Kummissjoni Politika Socjali) meeting held before the Easter recess voted against a proposal by MOVE to install a condom machine in Students’ House.

The latest twist in the condom machine saga came after a vote was taken following a lengthy discussion during a KPS meeting, which had on the agenda MOVE’s proposal for the condom machine.

Opening the debate, a MOVE spokesperson gave a short presentation about their campaign and why students want such a machine.  MOVE’s arguments were backed up by statistics and continuous references to the ABC guidelines of sexual health put forward by WHO (World Health Organisation) as it became evident that MOVE’s campaign was not solely related to the installation of a condom machine, but slanted in favour of a holistic sexual health policy.

Subsequently, Carl Grech put forward another proposal, which stated that the Sexual Health Committee must carry out a sexual health campaign, with the support of other student organisations. A secret vote was taken and this proposal managed to garner a majority of votes.

When contacted, MOVE President Godfrey Galea said that his organisation will respect the vote taken but urged all students to remember that the KPS role is to issue policies and as such does not have an executive role at University.

Galea said that it is KSU who has the executive role at University and the decision should have been taken by them, “but it seemed that KSU did not want to take the responsibility to make a decision.”

He continued that, “one must also keep in mind that in our survey the vast majority of students were in favour of this condom machine and their opinion was not respected. Apart from this, one has to mention that the KPS policy on health has a section where it states that KSU will encourage and help any organisation which works on the ABC (Abstain, Be faithful, Correct and Consistent use of Condoms) notion of WHO. In this case, KPS and KSU went against this statement.”

The MOVE President stated that it is somewhat strange that while the KSU president said that KSU was working on bringing a pharmacy at university which would also sell condoms, it had a problem with condoms being dispensed by a machine.

Replying to questions by insiteronline.com on what further action MOVE is planning to take, Godfrey Galea said that students’ health will remain a top priority for MOVE and his organisation will continue working on ways to help students, be it with or without a condom machine.  

 

A KPS (Kummissjoni Politika Socjali) meeting held before the Easter recess voted against a proposal by MOVE to install a condom machine in Students’ House.

The latest twist in the condom machine saga came after a vote was taken following a lengthy discussion during a KPS meeting, which had on the agenda MOVE’s proposal for the condom machine.

Opening the debate, a MOVE spokesperson gave a short presentation about their campaign and why students want such a machine.  MOVE’s arguments were backed up by statistics and continuous references to the ABC guidelines of sexual health put forward by WHO (World Health Organisation) as it became evident that MOVE’s campaign was not solely related to the installation of a condom machine, but slanted in favour of a holistic sexual health policy.

Replying, KSU President Carl Grech criticised the way MOVE had gone about the condom machine campaign.  He argued that the case put forward by MOVE about the lack of availability of condoms to students is irrelevant, as in the university vicinity condoms are available from a pharmacy.
Furthermore, KSU put forward the idea of having a pharmacy on campus. MOVE agreed that a pharmacy presents a far better solution but elaborated that MEPA is not accepting any applications for pharmacies.

Other student representatives from various organisations objected to the way MOVE had carried out the campaign. They held that the campaign mentioned by MOVE during KPS was not clearly explained in the email that was previously sent by MOVE. Also many held that the campaign should have first focused on A- Abstinence and B- Be Faithful, rather then moving straight to the C- Contraceptive part.

Apart from this, one has to mention that the KPS policy on health has a section where it states that KSU will encourage and help any organisation which works on the ABC (Abstain, Be faithful, Correct and Consistent use of Condoms) notion of WHO. In this case, KPS and KSU went against this statement.”

The MOVE President stated that it is somewhat strange that while the KSU president said that KSU was working on bringing a pharmacy at university which would also sell condoms, it had a problem with condoms being dispensed by a machine.

Replying to questions by insiteronline.com on what further action MOVE is planning to take, Godfrey Galea said that students’ health will remain a top priority for MOVE and his organisation will continue working on ways to help students, be it with or without a condom machine.  

 

A KPS (Kummissjoni Politika Socjali) meeting held before the Easter recess voted against a proposal by MOVE to install a condom machine in Students’ House.

The latest twist in the condom machine saga came after a vote was taken following a lengthy discussion during a KPS meeting, which had on the agenda MOVE’s proposal for the condom machine.

Opening the debate, a MOVE spokesperson gave a short presentation about their campaign and why students want such a machine.  MOVE’s arguments were backed up by statistics and continuous references to the ABC guidelines of sexual health put forward by WHO (World Health Organisation) as it became evident that MOVE’s campaign was not solely related to the installation of a condom machine, but slanted in favour of a holistic sexual health policy.

Replying, KSU President Carl Grech criticised the way MOVE had gone about the condom machine campaign.  He argued that the case put forward by MOVE about the lack of availability of condoms to students is irrelevant, as in the university vicinity condoms are available from a pharmacy.
Furthermore, KSU put forward the idea of having a pharmacy on campus. MOVE agreed that a pharmacy presents a far better solution but elaborated that MEPA is not accepting any applications for pharmacies.

Other student representatives from various organisations objected to the way MOVE had carried out the campaign. They held that the campaign mentioned by MOVE during KPS was not clearly explained in the email that was previously sent by MOVE. Also many held that the campaign should have first focused on A- Abstinence and B- Be Faithful, rather then moving straight to the C- Contraceptive part.

MMSA (Malta Medical Students Association) held that campaigns regarding sexual health and health in general have already been carried out by them.

After a two hour discussion, MOVE asked for a vote to be taken on whether KSU should get a condom machine in Students’ House, and that this machine will be removed if a pharmacy is present on campus. A secret vote was taken and the majority voted against.

Subsequently, Carl Grech put forward another proposal, which stated that the Sexual Health Committee must carry out a sexual health campaign, with the support of other student organisations. A secret vote was taken and this proposal managed to garner a majority of votes.

When contacted, MOVE President Godfrey Galea said that his organisation will respect the vote taken but urged all students to remember that the KPS role is to issue policies and as such does not have an executive role at University.
