• 13 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have had incidents where women have been given herbal birth control pills which have eventually ruined their health as well as that of the children they eventually give birth to. It is also true that we have bona fide herbal clinics which are doing commendable work and which need to be shielded from the quacks that spoil the name of this alternative health care delivery system. view
• 13 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: As Akinyi Okulo, a writer in the Daily Nation Newspaper observed yesterday, we need to establish professional guidelines on herbal medicine and to ensure that both the practitioners and consumers of herbal medicine operate within the bounds of order, proper ethical standards and scientifically proven preventive and curative remedies. view
