Uganda: NDA Boss Grilled Over Fake Drugs
MEMBERS of Parliament on Monday quizzed officials from the National Drug Authority on the continued proliferation of counterfeit anti-malarial drugs in the country.
The Parliamentary Committee on Commissions, Statutory Bodies and State Enterprises investigating NDA work was meeting the board members over policy issues. NDA is the national drug regulatory body.
"We have reports that despite the presence of NDA; counterfeits have continued to find their way into the market. Our people are not safe. This is a matter of life and death," committee vice chairperson Elijah Okupa (Kasilo) said.
