    "content": "the sun on them, hence the need for the sunscreen. There is even the issue of blindness and infections. What we did at the time was that the first Kshs100 million was brought to support them get sunscreens. The plan that was in place - I do not know what has happened - was that we were working with the Ministry of Health because it is not possible to distribute drugs from any other Ministry. Our plan was actually to distribute them through health centres and dispensaries. So, ours was just to find out how we could work with the Ministry of Health to buy the drugs. I do not know what happened at that time. My suggestion on that issue is that they must work with the Ministry of Health and look at all the areas that affect albinism and not only sunscreens. They cannot distribute sunscreens in any way other than through the Ministry of Health. I think we actually set up a committee and the then Ministry of Gender and Social Services was working with the Ministry of Health to make sure that sunscreens were distributed through health centres and dispensaries. From what I am getting, I think there is need to look back and find out exactly how the issue of albinism is going to be linked with health. The distribution of sunscreens must be through the Ministry of Health; even its purchase must be under this Ministry, otherwise people will just buy a cream and call it sunscreen."
