On Tuesday, cnyakundi.com exposed how struggling online store Jumia Kenya has now ventured into the prescription drugs business in contravention to Pharmacy and Poisons Act.

Today, the Pharmacy and Poisons Board has sent out a statement asking Jumia Kenya and other such online e-commerce platforms that are hawking prescription drugs online to cease.

“It has come to the attention of the Board that some e-commerce platforms, are trading in medical products, including prescription only medicines, in total disregard of the provisions A the Pharmacy and Poisons Act (CAP 244, Laws of Kenya”, the statement read in part.

In 2018, alarm was raised over Kenyans abuse of prescription drugs such as codeine. This was in contravention to the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Control) Act
