Malawi Police in Ntcheu district say they are still investigating how government drugs find their way in several markets in the district.
Ntcheu Police spokesperson Gift Matewere made the remarks following the arrest of several people who were found selling drugs stolen from public hospitals in the district’s markets.
Matewere said their investigations are failing to progress since most of the suspects insisted that they bought the medicine from Mozambique.
He said that issue could be resolved if the two countries’ health experts had enough information concerning the issue to resolve it once and for all.
According to Matewere, the law enforcers are working tirelessly with their Mozambican counterparts to curb the situation.
Recently, the police arrested several suspects after they found them selling drugs stolen from public hospitals.
Among the medicines that were found at the markets include amoxicillin and Panado worth half a million Kwacha.
On Thursday, Health Minister, Peter Kumpalume disclosed that drugs worth five MK5 billion are stolen every year in the country’s public hospitals.
And you blame government.
Yesterday was Dedza, today it’s Ntcheu. Eeeeeh more strugles, to stopo this trend and the government should put serious n effective measures with keen implementation; otherwise pharmaceutical market is a big industry, just second to petroleum industry.
