A foreign national has been held at MIA by customs officials who discovered the drug khat in his luggage.
Khat is so far not considered an illegal substance under Maltese law and although it has been added to the Drugs Ordinance, it has not been enacted by home affairs minister Carm Mifaud Bonnici for the past year.
The suspect was driven to the Police headquarters in Floriana to have the plant confiscated and have him removed from the island.

Wakey wakey, sur Ministru, is it legal, or is illegal.
If it is illegal, why have you been waiting one whole year to pass a law. If it isn't illegal, than how can the police confiscate something legal.

So if I was to import a bag of tea leaves into Malta, I could get hauled off to Police HQ, right?
•
If it's not illegal why did the police confiscate a legal product and arrest an innocent person?
•
Here we go again: "it has NOT been enacted by Carm Mifsud Bonnici"! Wonder of wonders! How come this Minister keeps getting the same press!? Is there a reason? Or he just forgot as he's too busy sleeping?
