Pharmacists are on the spot over the alleged creation of drugs artificial shortage.
Busia Governor Sospeter Ojaamong says he will take action against such pharmacists.
Ojaamong said there was drug shortage in Busia health centers.
The governor was speaking on Thursday at the drugs store in Matayos where he made an impromptu visit.
He was shocked to find the drugs store filled to capacity and yet some public health institutions in Busia were complaining of drugs shortage.
“Some people have failed to work. We budgeted for it and drugs are here since August and making lame excuses that there is no transport. We have over 20 pickups and Palweco gave us 10 more, so that is an excuse,” Ojaamong’ said.
Busia County Pharmacist Dr. Katayi Silvano, however, cited transport challenges in delivering the drugs to various sub-counties.
