Two chemist operators are currently held at Nyamira police station after being caught selling government drugs at a private chemist.
According to the Senior Health Official Evan Ayiera from the county government of Nyamira who led the operation, they have been carrying out investigations after they heard some of doctors doing the illegal business.
Ayiera said that the search will continue and those involved in the whole business will be arrested and laid off from working in government hospitals.
“The two who we arrested today in help of the police are a few among the numbers who will help us arrest the gang involved in stealing government drugs,” he added.
He further noted that they have leads on the same, condemning the act of such unscrupulous health workers stealing drugs bought by the county government for the poor, and selling them to private chemist shops.
Ayiera said the individuals will be arraigned in court later on after the investigations are over.
