    "content": "several associations and we asked them as a Committee to actually form one association so that they can be able to address us as one association. The pharmacists’ dramatizing and going round to write things on social media and twitter will not help. There is a way of communication and we meant well to this nation. It is important for this House to know that we have over 9,000 pharmaceutical technologists who are controlling the retail and the drugs that are accessible to the public. When it comes to an issue of wholesale, we saw the kind of fight that has been put up even in the social media because people just want to control the selling part. My question to the pharmacies is: Why are we not manufacturing drugs in this nation? Why have you not brought some proposal so that we can have some waiver and have drugs cheaper in Kenya? A pharmacist has a bigger opportunity to manufacture. The pharmaceutical technologist cannot. I wish that is the kind of competition we can see. Now to this House, our doctors have some guidelines. I just want to take the Members through some of the things I witnessed yesterday. For a doctor to come and witness a postmortem, the cost is a minimum of Kshs24,000 and the maximum is put at Kshs60,000. We know sometimes when postmortems are done, it is not just because the family wants it done. Sometimes it is an emergency and the postmortem must to be done. That means many families in Kenya cannot afford. Christmas and around this time is the time for circumcision. Adult circumcision is priced at at minimum Kshs20,000 and maximum Kshs40,000."
