Former Cabinet Minister Moses Kuria has alleged that Kenya's drug market is controlled by a pharmaceutical mafia, leading to overpriced and low-quality medicines. These claims were reinforced by Mosop MP Abraham Kirwa, who shared his personal experience with substandard medication in Kenya.

• Moses Kuria claimed Kenyan pharmaceutical products cost 10 times more and are only 10% quality compared to other countries.
• The Pharmacy & Poisons Board is accused of protecting cartels instead of regulating drug quality.
• Mosop MP Abraham Kirwa alleged he was denied life-saving medicine in a Nairobi hospital due to its substandard nature.
• Cabinet Secretary of Health Aden Duale has directed the health board to remove all substandard and unregistered medicines from the Kenyan Market.
