U.S. Agency Busts Stolen Medical Supplies in Kenya, 2 Arrested

Two individuals were arrested in a joint operation targeting pharmacies suspected of selling stolen and expired medicines in Kenya. The operation, led by the USAID Office of Inspector General, focused on 18 pharmaceutical premises, resulting in the closure of at least four pharmacies and the seizure of thousands of medical commodities, including over 2,000 co-trimoxazole antibiotic tablets. Investigators uncovered regulatory violations that posed risks to patient health.
