    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, together with the measures that the Pharmacy and Poisons Board has taken, it is now a requirement that herbal medicines be inspected by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board. We are encouraging herbal medicine men and women to seek the legal support of the Pharmacy and Poisons Board not to fall into the tragedy of sometime dispensing herbal medicines which are harmful to the population. At the international level, Kenya associates itself with prevention and control efforts and has been carrying out joint operations with other countries against counterfeit medicine, including herbal medicine. So far, we have carried out two joint operations under the WHO impact project with the support of Interpol Operation Mamba II that was carried out in 2009 and Operation Mamba III that was concluded in August, 2010. This is also in collaboration with our neighbours where herbal medicine is practiced and we are seeking an East African-wide convention for the use, control in terms of quality and use of herbal medicine."
