15 February 2023 at 11:18 Kjerkol: I have washed my ears – I want to invite the minister to wash his ears and listen, said Rødt leader Bjørnar Moxnes to Health Minister Ingvild Kjerkol during question time on Wednesday. The outcome came in an exchange of words about the intensive care unit at the hospital in Kirkenes, which the Rødt leader is very worried about. The choice of words led to criticism from the Storting’s deputy president Svein Harberg (H), who chaired the meeting. – The president will recommend to Moxnes a slightly more respectful mention of the minister, said Harberg. Health Minister Ingvild Kjerkol himself followed up with a quick explanation of his own hygiene habits. – I can inform the president that I have washed my ears. I did that this morning, and I do that every day, Kjerkol said. – Then I note daily ear washing as a health recommendation from the minister, replied Moxnes.
