    "content": " I confirm to the House that I am neither a herbalist nor a doctor. Most of the Ministers we have had at the Ministry of Health are not doctors. The former President, the late Mwai Kibaki, was one of our best Ministers for Health. In the fifteen years I was in this House, apart from Dr Mailu and Dr Deborah Baraza, the rest were not doctors. I was not an environmentalist when I was the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry. I was not from the military when I was the Cabinet Secretary for Defence. The functions of the Cabinet Secretary are cut out; it is about policy direction and leadership. You asked me what we are going to do at the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA). Just to wrap up, there will be track and trace. The Pharmacy and Poisons Board is part of this super highway technology. We will ensure that no procured drug coming to the market in our country is counterfeit. I want the leadership of the Pharmacy and Poisons Board to listen to me. It will not be business as usual."
