    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, with due respect to Hon. Pukose, this Bill proposes to make all other medicines, especially traditional medicine, illegal unless we introduce a parallel proposal to the document you have before you. My mother-in-law has arthritis and has been taking medication for a long time. When she stopped and started taking traditional medicine, she started walking again. Are we saying that if she gets medicine from the person who has been administering it to her, that person will be charged with a criminal offence because that medicine is not authorised? Are we going to let our people die because of conventional medicine? This Bill is specifically trying to say that there is falsified medicine and medicine that is allowed. I wonder why it did not specify that there are traditional medicines which ought to be, at least. considered and leave room for them to be accommodated later. As it is, we are going to criminalise everything, which will open a Pandora’s Box."
