The Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) has been allowing importation of billions of shillings worth of substandard and fake drugs into the Kenyan market in exchange for bribes from illegal traders, documents with the Ministry of Health show.
The documents supplied to the Office of the President’s Efficiency Monitoring Unit (EMU) by a whistleblower show that the poisons board issued tens of permits to non-registered drugs suppliers between 2005 and 2011, putting millions of lives in danger.
