    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. It is a very important Bill. The current regulations ought to be further regulated to put more safety in the use of medicine. It is normally said that a healthy country is a wealthy country. When we regulate this sector, we will be able to receive medicine of good quality because at times the unregulated medicines that are sold in our country are substandard and of low quality. Therefore, if we pass this Bill, the medicines will be of good quality. When we market the medicines without regulations, our economy will not grow. We have some products that can be used to make medicines and earn foreign exchange to this country. However, without good regulations, we will not get market beyond our borders. So, this will help us to market something which is of good substance outside there. People seeking medical attention every now and then may be safe because the medicine and the care they will receive will be of good quality. That will happen if regulations are put in place. In most cases, there is no advice given to patients concerning some of the medicine which is sold over the counter. You can buy whatever medicine you want without any restriction. That way, one tends to misuse medicine. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
