    "content": "Hon. Speaker, M/s. Ceragem (Kenya) Limited promotes and sells its medical products and devices through a number of its branches located in various towns in the country. However, in the recent past, there have been claims levelled against the efficacy of some of its products and devices. Questions have also been raised regarding the lack of approval of some of its products and devices by both the Pharmacy and Poisons Board and the Kenya Bureau of Standards. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health to address the following: (i) Could the Chairperson list all the medical products and devices being sold or promoted in the country by M/s. Ceragem (Kenya) Limited? (ii) Have all the said products and devices been approved by both the Pharmacy and Poisons Board and the Kenya Bureau of Standards? (iii) How many outlets does the company have in Kenya? (iv) Is the Ministry aware that some of the products by M/s. Ceragem Limited’s mother company have been banned in the State of Texas in the United States of America for making false claims about their efficacy against cancer? (v) What action will be taken against the company in case it emerges that its medical products and devices do not have approval from the Pharmacy and Poisons Board and the Kenya Bureau of Standards? Hon. Speaker, it is for that reason that Hon. Moses Kuria is in hospital."
